Multi-legged slings<br />
The recommended maximum angle between the two legs of a sling is 90°.<br />
The recommended maximum angle between the vertical and any leg of a sling is 45°.<br />
When slinging a rigid object with a multi-legged sling it must be assumed that only two of the sling<br />
legs are taking the load. Additional legs do not increase the SWL of the sling assembly.<br />
Limitation of the use of two leg slings<br />
The maximum angle (a) between legs of slings should not exceed the following:<br />
• 45° where the slings are wrapped once around the load<br />
• 60° where the slings are wrapped twice around the load<br />
• 120° where the slings are wrapped around the load and prevented from slipping inwards.<br />
