If a load has one attachment point, and a large clevis is used, what is the maximum load weight?

If a load has one attachment point, and a large clevis is used, what is the maximum load weight?

• A. 6,250 lbs
• B. 12,500 lbs
• C. 24,000 lbs
• D. 9,000 lbs

Answer: (B)

When lifting with a single attachment point, the load is carried by that one point, so the hardware at that point dictates the safe load. A large clevis used in a single-point pick-up is rated for 12,500 pounds, so that is the maximum load you should lift with this setup. The other numbers would come from different hardware ratings or configurations, but with one attachment and a large clevis, the rated capacity is 12,500 pounds.
