The 25K sling set has a total weight of how many pounds?

• A. 52 lbs
• B. 100 lbs
• C. 80 lbs
• D. 114 lbs

Answer: (D)

Understanding rigging weight is essential for accurate load planning. The sling set’s weight is the physical mass you must account for in calculations, separate from what it’s rated to lift. A standard 25K sling set, when assembled with its hardware (chain, master links, hooks, etc.), weighs 114 pounds. The 25K designation refers to the lift capacity (25,000 pounds WLL), not the sling’s own weight. The other options don’t reflect the actual mass of a complete 25K sling set, which is why 114 pounds is the correct figure. In practice, you’d add this 114 lb sling weight to the load to verify the crane’s capacity at the hook and ensure safe rigging.
