The examples below demonstrate how to calculate the total Sling Load, based on a sling angle and the corresponding sling factor. Take a look at them closely so you can see how as the angle gets smaller, the factor gets bigger, increasing the tension force on the sling.
The examples below demonstrate how to calculate the Sling Load (SL) each Sling must carry based on their corresponding Sling angle and the Sling angle factor from the table before.
Sling angle factor for 60° is 1.15
Sling angle factor for 45° is 1.41
Sling angle factor for 90° is 1.00
