Sling Tension Demonstration

Показать описание
Ever wondered why we have calculations for the rating of lifting accessories when used at an angle?

This is a short practical demonstration, using simple equipment, on how the sling angle will affect the tension through the lifting accessories.

Great teaching here. The way the tutor went through all the different angles and how things change as a result was very clearly and interestingly presented. I learned a lot from it.

Hi, can you explain how /why the tension in the chain is able to increase to a magnitude beyond the magnitude of the load itself? If the included angle was 179 degrees for example and the tension in the leg is astronomically high, what is it that is producing this 'extra' tension?

thanks in advance

I never thought I'd use Pythagoras Theory after leaving school.

Isn't it supposed to be divided by Sin value instead of Cos value to find the Sling tension?
