Wire Rope Sling Load Chart

This document provides a load chart for wire rope slings with working load limits specified for various rope diameters, types of sling configurations (one, two, three, and four leg slings and endless slings), and angles to the vertical. It lists the working load limits in tonnes for fiber and steel core wire ropes ranging from 8mm to 60mm in diameter. Factors that affect working load limits include sling configuration, number of legs, and angle between legs. Proper inspection and use of slings is recommended to prevent defects and avoid exceeding safe working loads.

When using multi=leg sling assemblies remember that increasing the angles between the legs will increase the load in each leg. Examine
all slings before use and discard any that are defective. Slings which are found to be unfit for use should be destroyed by cutting them up-
not put on a resuse dump. “Hooking back” to the leg is not recommended. The Working Load Limit of slings is effected by the method of
usage. Check that the crane hook is positioned over the loads centre of gravity to prevent swinging when the load is being raised. Correct
signals, according to the recognised code, should be given to the crane driver. The signals must be given by the person responsible for
the lift and nobody else.
