What is the rated capacity for a Large Suspension Clevis?

The rated capacity for a Large Suspension Clevis is 10,000 lbs. This clevis is designed for heavy-duty operations typically associated with airlifting operations, where robust support is essential. With a capacity of 10,000 lbs, it ensures that it can safely handle the weight and stress involved in moving heavy equipment or supplies via helicopter or other aircraft. This capacity is critical for maintaining the safety of personnel and equipment during airborne operations, as exceeding the rated limits could lead to failure of the clevis and catastrophic results. Understanding and accurately identifying the rated capacities of such equipment is a fundamental aspect of the training at the Pathfinder School, as it directly ties into mission effectiveness and the safety protocols that must be adhered to in tactical situations.
