@AceIndustries #worksafe each has its own rated working load limit (WLL)

@AceIndustries #worksafe your basket is the strongest it would be double what the vertical would be

Depends on what the manufacturer puts on the tag.
Ideally, 60 degrees. Lowest is 30 degrees from horizontal. #worksafe

A2. The sling capacity decreases as the sling leg angle decreases #worksafe

@AceIndustries #worksafe a2. Your recommend lifting angle is 60 degrees

@AceIndustries #worksafe a2 as you angle decreases your weight of the object increases
— Jason Lee Gahring (@Jalega97) August 6, 2015
@AceIndustries #worksafe a3. 5:1 ratio when new
— Jason Lee Gahring (@Jalega97) August 6, 2015

Q5. We agree. Depends on the construction. Could vary with single ply, two ply, etc. #worksafe

A5. Once a sling is overloaded it will not return to the original length #worksafe
— Josh Arwood (@jarwood32) August 6, 2015
@AceIndustries Synthetic slings should be inspected for any type of damage including but not limited to burns, cuts, and punctures.#worksafe

@AceIndustries A5) if your sling is stretched, replace it. #worksafe
