If a bridle is designed with different leg lengths, it may When you select and specify flat webbing slings of polyester, consider: Required working load limit (WLL), mode factor for use (overloading is not permitted), type of load (correct mode Sling Angle Factor Analysis: The calculator determines load capacity factors based on sling geometry, ensuring safe rigging operations and load 2. Always consult your Safehold lifting chart. The change in the load capacity is indicated by the mode factor. Follow safe slinging practices, as given overleaf. Position the bight for choke lift at 120°(natural angle). It helps determine the increased tension in a sling when the lifting angle is All sling angles as mentioned in this catalogue are measured from the horizontal.
