Try the Sling Load Calculator now for KTO.com to calculate the load on your sling!

If you are in the business of moving heavy loads, you know that one of the most important factors in a successful lift is ensuring that the load is evenly distributed between the lifting points. The last thing you want is for your load to become unbalanced and collapse.

That's where a sling load calculation app comes in. This simple tool can help you determine the load on each sling leg and the associated lifting capacity.

Here's how it works: just take the total weight of the load and divide it by the number of legs supporting the load. This will give you the minimum total load on a sling leg. For example, if you are lifting a 4,000-pound load with four legs, each leg would need to support at least 1,000 pounds.

Once you know the minimum load on each leg, you can determine the associated lifting capacity. This information is important because it can help you choose the right lifting equipment for the job.

For example, if you are using a four-legged synthetic sling with a 2,000-pound capacity, each leg can only support 500 pounds. In this case, you would need to use two slings to safely lift the 4,000-pound load.

A sling load calculator is a valuable tool for anyone in the business of lifting heavy loads. By taking the time to calculate the load on each sling leg, you can ensure your load is distributed evenly and that you are using the correct lifting equipment for the job.
