How Do Sling Angles Affect Load Ratings and Capacity?

How Do Sling Angles Affect Load Ratings and Capacity?
You’ve got your sling and you’re ready to lift, but first you need to make sure you’re taking careful consideration regarding the angle of your sling. What sling angle is best for the lift? Who should have the final sign off before we start lifting? What should I do when using a basket hitch?
In this video we are going to address those questions so that you can be confident that you’re getting the most out of your lift, measuring your sling angle correctly and keeping up with safety standards.

Very useful and perfect explanation 😅 , thanks,both ....

[@LiftingandRigging]

Our pleasure!

[@dre7767]

Hi, do you have a load chart available for metric countries?

[@djeffalabdessalam6895]

🙏🤝🤝thanks a lot for the helpful and important information, keep going you...

[@bhavikpatel5974]

what happens to safe working load if choker angle is reduced? is safe working load going to decrease?

[@sathishvelayudham9289]

Very useful 👍👍👍👍

[@shamnadkaruthakka]

Thanks

Good job I'm also rigger one ksa experience 14 years my name is imrankhan from Pakistan but your video amazing wonderful

Not youtube.

[@prestonchambers6722]

Thank you so much for this video. I am a Safety Advisor in civil construction and just played this video in a toolbox. Very clear and detailed explanations. Love it.

[@LiftingandRigging]

Glad it was helpful to you, Preston! Thanks for watching!

[@cgrooney9945]

Great "safety advisor" just throw on a video instead of learning it so you can relay the information...if you can't explain it yourself you do not understand it

[@Ranveer_Singh_Kahani]

As a crane operator, i have made a mistake...a pair of 3 ton chains can lift 6 ton weight of mass hahahahaha but no worries, now im a certified lifting supervisor 😁

[@LiftingandRigging]

Make sure those chains are only used in line. Here is a pocket guide to help you calculate the WLL when using sling angles. www.mazzellacompanies.com/learning-center/literature/sling-working-load-limit-pocket-guide/

How to calculate nylon web sling diameter Example: 60 degree with 16000Lbs and web sling (5000 lb) What diameter of sling?

[@jordzzzzzzz]

Leave it to a professional. Web slings are not round either

[@LookOutForNumberOne]

@ 4:22 In the UK, that comment is incorrect. Crane operators don't know about sling tensions, crane operators do one thing, operate the crane.

[@LiftingandRigging]

A crane operator is always responsible for performing a safe lift. If your crane operator can't tell if something is properly rigged, they probably should not be operating a crane.

[@LookOutForNumberOne]

@@LiftingandRigging Sure, but we have 3 levels of lifting. Basic, intermediate, and complex. Only, the basic, is the operator allowed to take their own initiative as the lift is inside the regular training of the operator. Intermediate or complex, the Appointed Person (AP)(the one that makes the lift plan) controls or supervises the lifting operations.

[@cgrooney9945]

That's why USA crane operators are the best on the planet 💪😎🇺🇲 sorry bloke
