Sling Angles
Two Legged Sling – Wire Rope, Chain, Synthetics
Vertical share of load on slings are equal if center of gravity in middle of pick points.
Horizontal Sling Angle
| Horizontal Sling Angle (A) Degree |
Load Angle Facter = L/H |
|---|---|
| 90 | 1.000 |
| 60 | 1.155 |
| 50 | 1.305 |
| 45 | 1.414 |
| 30 | 2.000 |
Load on each leg of sling = vertical share of load x load angle factor
Horizontal sling angles of less than 30 degrees are not recommended. Refer to ASME B30.9 for full information.
Load on Sling Calculated
Tension 1 = Load X D2 X S1/(H(D1 + D2))
Tension 2 = Load X D1 X S2/(H(D1 + D2))
Load on Sling Calculated
Tension 1 = Load X D2 X S1/(H(D1 + D2))
Tension 2 = Load X D1 X S2/(H(D1 + D2))
