Safety Guidelines
Critical Rule
Never lift with sling angles below 30° from horizontal. Tension increases exponentially as angles
decrease.
How It Works
As the sling angle decreases, the horizontal force component increases, dramatically raising the tension
in each sling leg. This simulator shows real-time tension changes.
Load Factors
Tension Monitor
CRITICAL ANGLE!
Tension exceeds 90% of theoretical. Reduce load or increase angle.
DANGER ZONE!
Angle below recommended limits. Tension doubled!
Controls
Formula
Tension = (Load / 2) × Factor
Factor = 1 / sin(angle)
