Rigging Sling Angle Charts & Load Limit Posters

Rigging sling angle charts illustrating the relationship between sling angles and increased load tension.

Mastering the Physics of the Lift: Sling Angle & WLL Guides

When the angle of a sling changes, the tension on that sling increases—often dramatically. Our Sling Angle Posters serve as a critical visual reminder that the 'nominal' capacity of a sling is only part of the story. These charts are the ultimate tool for field-calculating the Tension Factor in real-time.

The Critical Impact of Sling Angles on Safety

A 60-degree sling angle might seem safe, but do your riggers know it increases the load on each leg by approximately 15%? At 30 degrees, that load doubles. Our Load Angle Guides provide clear, color-coded illustrations that help ground crews visualize these invisible forces, preventing the accidental overloading of hardware and slings.

Comprehensive Working Load Limit (WLL) References

Our rigging art covers the essential data points required for modern lifting operations:

• Vertical, Choker, and Basket Hitch Capacities: Quickly identify the WLL for various hitch configurations.

• Sling Tension Formulas: Simplified visual math for calculating the actual stress on rigging gear.

• Hardware Inspection Reminders: Integrated tips for checking shackles, master links, and wire rope integrity.

Built for the Rigging Loft and the Job Site

Whether you are hanging these in a dedicated rigging loft or mounting them on a crane’s outrigger pad, our posters are built to last. Using the same UV-resistant and waterproof technology as our famous "Angle is Everything" series, these charts remain legible and professional through years of heavy industrial use.
