Sling Load Angle How to Calculate Sling Capacity Using Sling to Load Angle To calculate iting capacty rst identity your material type and consider the rated lifting capacity required. The rated lilting capac ofthe sling must often be greater than the weight ofthe load tobe lifted. Because the angle of pul on the leg ofa sling varies withthe leg angle, forces may be exerted on a sling greater than the user may expect. [Need a New Nylon Sing? Browse Hoist Centra inventory To calculate the load ona sling eg andthe associated ltng capacity: 1. Take the total load weight and divide iby the numberof legs supporting th lad to get he total minimum load ona sling leg. 2, Determine the load factor by consulting the sling angle factor char below. 8, Multiply the load factor times the minimum load ona sling leg. Then, multiply that number times the number of les to determine the basket capacity to safely it the 6, For example: Assume a 2000 pound load sto be supported by 2 legs of a sing at a 60" leg angle 1.22000 pounds divided by 2 legs equals 1,000 pounds of total minimum weight on each eg ofthe sing 2. Looking atthe chart below, the associated load factor for @ 60" leg angle is 1.184 83. The total minimum weight on each leg (1,000 pounds) times the load factor fo 60" (1.154) equals 1,154 pounds In this example the rated sting capacity needed is 2.308 pounds (1154x2 lege) n basket capacity to safely it the 2,000 pound load Leg Angle Load Factor 30" 1.000 as 1.003 eo 1015 a 1.035 70 1.064 os 03 oo Lass 5s 1.220 50" 1.305 4s 14 40° 1.555 as 789 0 2.000
