Which configuration yields the maximum load weight of 23,625 lbs?

• A. Four attachment points with large clevis at each point
• B. One attachment point with large clevis
• C. Three attachment points with large clevis at each point
• D. Two attachment points with large clevis at each point

Answer: (C)

The main idea is how load is distributed among sling legs and how hardware and geometry limit what can be safely lifted. When you have multiple attachment points, the weight is shared by the number of legs, and the allowed total is governed by the per-leg rating and the angle those legs form under load.

With three attachment points and large clevises at each, the load can be distributed across three legs while staying within the rated capacity of each leg and hardware. This configuration often allows you to reach the maximum allowable load for the rigging setup described, which in this case is 23,625 lbs. The per-leg capacity is being utilized efficiently and the geometry keeps the line angles within acceptable limits, so the overall safe lift sums to that value.

A single attachment point would force all weight onto one leg, quickly exceeding per-leg limits. A two-point setup distributes the load over two legs but typically cannot reach the same total safely given the same hardware ratings and geometric constraints. A four-point configuration could offer more distribution in some situations, but in this specific scenario the line angles and hardware ratings don’t allow surpassing the three-point arrangement’s maximum, so the three-point with large clevis configuration yields the maximum safe load of 23,625 lbs.
