What is the total weight of a complete 25K sling set?

• A. 52 lbs
• B. 60 lbs
• C. 114 lbs
• D. 100 lbs

Answer: (C)

Total weight is the sum of every component that makes up a complete sling set. The 25K rating tells you the lifting capacity, not how much the gear weighs. A standard complete 25K sling set includes two leg assemblies and all the end fittings and hardware that go with them. When you add up the weights of all those parts, you get about 114 pounds. This total is what you use for load planning, aircraft performance, and safety checks, since the gear’s weight affects overall load and balance. If you only accounted for part of the kit, you’d underestimate the total and risk improper rigging or flight stability. For precise planning, check the manufacturer's weight specs for each component and sum them.
