Two-Legged Bridles

Two-legged bridles, whether used as chokers or with hooks or other end attachments, are affected by rigging angles. Note the reduction in rated capacity as leg angels are reduced.

Rated capacities shown for multi-leg slings are for slings that have all legs the same length and all legs are equally sharing the load being lifted. For other conditions, contact our Fabricated Products Enineering Department
