About Sling Configurations and Capacity

Wire Rope Slings with Hooks
For use with loads that have lift attachments, these slings attach quickly and securely. They are more abrasion and cut resistant than web and round slings, yet lighter in weight than mesh and chain slings. They include a tag that shows capacities in each configuration.
Note: Do not use multi-leg slings at an angle less than 30°.
Warning: Never use to lift people or items over people.
