Determined usage for lifting and transportation of loads
1. Selection of sling chains
1.1 The weight of the corresponding load must be known.
1.2 The center of gravity from the load must be known.
1.3 Method of sling
For muliple leg lifting the inclined angle must be between 15° and 60°. Inclined angles exceeding 60° creating overloading in the legs. Angles less than 15° can create instability of the load. When using choke hitch, the WLL has to be reduced. Generally it is always possible with a 4 leg lifting that only 2 legs are carrying the load even the load is symmetrical.
1.4 Asymmetrical loads
If one leg must be shortenend in multiple leg application could this be an indication for an uneven load. The nominal WLL has to be reduced by 50% of the indicated WLL when load has an equal weight,
