_Alwaye consider the alin angles when making ait. The angle ofthe sling can reduce the capacity of al he rigging due to ling tension ‘As an example a horizontal sling angle of 30° wilincrease the tension factor by 2 times therefore doubling the weigh eltby the sling and all related rigging ‘You can use the chart below to calculate tension factors. If appropriate overhead clearance is available, most riggers use a 60" equilateral triangle as a ‘benchmark angle. A 60° equilateral rangle has three equal sides making it a quick and easy reference point fr estimating your sing angle, fa more erica assessment ofthe sling angle is necessary, the information below can assist in more precise angle calculations.
