Description
Two Leg, Mechanically Spliced Wire Rope Bridles
All wire rope diameters in inches. All capacities for wire rope in tons of 2,000 lbs. All eye and fitting dimensions in inches.
* Rated Capacities Basket Hitch based on D/d ratio of 25. Rated Capacities based on pin diameter no larger than natural eye width or less than the nominal sling diameter.
Rated Capacities based on design factor of 5.
Sling angles less than 30° shall not be used.
** Working Load Limit.
Rated Capacity for two-legged wire rope sling bridles, whether used as chokers or with hooks or other end fixtures, is affected by rigging angles, the same as straight slings in basket hitches.
Note: Reduction in rated capacity as legs spread to wider lifting connections.
Three Leg, Mechanically Spliced Wire Rope Bridles
All wire rope diameters in inches. All capacities in tons of 2,000 lbs. All eye and fitting dimensions in inches.
* Rated Capacities Basket Hitch based on D/d ratio of 25.
** Working Load Limit.
Rated Capacities based on pin diameter no larger than natural eye width or less than the nominal sling diameter.
Sling angles less than 30° shall not be used.
Sling angles in this catalog depart from the traditional method of vertical angles measured at the sling hook. It has long been the opinion of sling users that it is easier to measure a sling angle relative to the ground or horizontal. The method is the same whichever angle is used. When the horizontal angle is used you, must use the trigonometric cosine of the vertical angle.
Four Leg, Mechanically Spliced Wire Rope Bridles
