The complex shape of an object can often be broken down into multiple simple shapes. The areas or volumes of these individual shapes are then added together to determine the total area or volume of the complex shape.

Eyebolts have the greatest load capacity when used with vertical forces. The capacity at other angles is a percentage of the vertical working load limit.

When multiple slings are used, the sling angle affects the increased forces on the sling. Smaller sling angles result in greater sling forces.

Sling angle load factors are used to calculate the affect of sling angle on the forces experienced by each sling.

Chapter 1 — RiggingChapter 1 — Rigging
The angular force factor calculates the actual sling forces, which must be less than the sling capacity. The sling angle loss factor calculates a derated sling capacity due to sling angle, which must be greater than the portion of load weight supported by the sling. Either calculation accomplishes the same result.

If angular forces cause a flexible load to buckle, a spreader bar can be added to the rigging to change the direction of the forces on the load.

When calculating the distribution of load weight in sling arrangements with three or more legs, at least one of the legs is assumed to carry no load weight. As a result, the load is divided equally among the others legs.
