    Abstract - (Show below) - (Hide below)

    Methods for the rating of lifting slings having either equal or unequal leg lengths. Includes terminology, units and general matters relating to rating of lifting slings. Covers lifting slings for multi-purposes based on the uniform load method and those for a single purpose based on either the uniform load or trigonometrical method.
