Each leg adjusts to accommodate any- sized load or lift-point arrangement. Lifts using less than four legs reduce the ratings proportionately.
Note: 4-leg adjustable slings have a vertical rating based on four legs at 5:1. All Rated Capacities (WLL’s) on multiple leg slings are based on EQUAL loading of all sling legs.

Angle Effect: Sling Capacities
The capacity of a multiple-leg sling is directly affected by the angle of the sling leg with the vertical. As this angle increases, the stress on each leg increases. The capacity can be readily determined by multiplying the sling’s vertical capacity by the appropriate load-angle factor.
