If a load has three attachment points, and a large clevis is used at each point, what is the maximum load weight?

If a load has three attachment points, and a large clevis is used at each point, what is the maximum load weight?

• A. 15,750 lbs
• B. 23,625 lbs
• C. 11,250 lbs
• D. 31,500 lbs

Answer: (B)

Three attachment points with a large clevis each can share the load. If each clevis is rated for 7,875 pounds, the total maximum load is the sum of the three ratings: 3 × 7,875 = 23,625 pounds. This assumes even load distribution among the points and no additional dynamic or rigging angle factors reducing capacity.
