WARNING
* Do not exceed rated capacities.

■ Rated capacities based on pin diameter no larger than the natural eye width or
no less than 5 times the component rope diameter.
■ Rated capacity of basket hitch based on D/d ratio in the body of 10 times the
component rope diameter.
■ Rated capacities based on design factor of 5 when new.
■ Horizontal sling angles less than 30 degrees shall not be used.

** Sling capacities for rope diameters 1/8″ through 1/4″ are based on using
7 x 19 G.A.C. wire rope.

*** Sling Angles in this guide depart from the traditional method of vertical angles measured
at the sling hook. It has long been the opinion of sling users that it is easier to measure a
sling angle relative to the ground or horizontal. The method is the same whichever angle is
used. When the horizontal angle is used you must use the trigonometric side of the
horizontal angle. When the vertical angle is used you must use the trigonometric cosine
of the vertical angle.

WARNING
* Do not exceed working load limit.

■ Do not use angles smaller than 30 degrees horizontally.

■ Always inspect sling before each use.
■ Do not impact load or jerk the sling.
■ Protect chain from corners and objects.
■ Protect slings from corrosion.

WARNING
* Do not exceed rated capacities.

■ Nylon and polyester slings shall not be used at temperatures in excess of 194°F (90°C);
however, they may be used in temperatures as low as -40°F (-40°C).
■ Slings shall always be protected from being cut by corners, edges, protrusions or
abrasive surfaces.
■ Environments in which synthetic web slings are continuously exposed to ultra-violet light
(sunlight) can affect the strength of synthetic webbing in varying degrees, ranging from
slight to total degradation. The degradation is also cumulative.

WARNING
* Do not exceed rated capacities.

Can fail if damaged, misused or overloaded. Inspect before use. Use only if trained.
Observe rated capacity. Avoid edges and exposure to acid, alkali, sunlight and temperatures
over 180°F. Death or injury can occur from improper use or maintenance.
