Introduction To How To Calculate The Load On A Sling Leg
1. How To Avoid Injury
or Death and Expensive Damage to Your Load
Preventing your load from
falling is critical.
-
It is important to know how
much force is exerted on a sling when making a lift.
-
Extra force can cause a sling
to break and cause the load to fall, which could injure or kill you and damage
or ruin your load.
Lesson 2: Calculating a sling
load at all angles is crucial to understanding the forces on your load. This
lesson explains the Four Things you need to know and how to use them.
2. How to Prevent Your Strap
From Breaking When Lifting A Load
Lessons 3 and 4 explain how a
spreader beam will safely lift the load with a smaller strap. You can use a
smaller strap to lift a load IF you properly use a spreader beam.
3. How to Avoid a
Catastrophe by Keeping Your Load Balanced
When making a lift your load
should be balanced in order to be stable. An unstable or shifting load is not
safe because it may not move as you intend it to, which can cause failures.
Lesson 5 explains how to
center/balance a load below a hook point
With "Calculating Sling Loads"
you will learn these four things
-
The rated vertical safe
working load of the sling
-
The total weight of the load
-
The length of the sling from
the hook to the attachment point
-
The vertical distance from
the load to the hook point
Remember
Safety First!
