For low lifting heights and/or tight spaces, Magnum-X short
slings are used. With usable lengths of 1.0, 1.5 and 2.0 this short
model rounds out the range for load capacities of 10, 20 and 30 tons.
If more than one Magnum-X round sling is used for the lifting
process, they must all be identical.
Uneven stretching of the Magnum-X round slings poses a
danger of tilting the load.
With symmetrical load distribution, equal strap lengths and
equal angles according to BGR 500 for a 4-strap hanger, only
three slings are considered to bear load.
With asymmetrical load distribution and/or unequal angles,
with 2-strap hangers, only one strap can be considered
load-bearing, and with 3-strap or 4-strap hangers, only two slings can
be considered load-bearing.
If Magnum-X round slings are used in pairs, use of a cross member
is recommended, so that the load is distributed evenly
3.3 Choosing the nominal load capacity
The Magnum-X round slings' nominal load capacity must be greater
than or equal to the load's mass. When choosing the slings, pay at-
tention to which fastening method and with what tilt angle the lifting
process is to take place, because this affects the useful load capacity
of the sling. The sling must lie completely on the load suspension
device (e.g. crane hook) and on the load.
Attention: Too strong a lateral enclosure (pinching) decreases
Magnum-X round slings' load capacity.
3.4 Arranging the load
Place the sling on the load in such a way that it cannot slide on the load
