What is the rated capacity for the Polyester Round Sling that is 8' in length and green in color when used in a choked position?

The rated capacity for a polyester round sling depends on its length and color code, which denote the specific capacity when used in different configurations. In this instance, an 8-foot long polyester round sling, identified by its green color, has a rated capacity of 4,200 pounds when used in a choked position.

The capacity in a choked position is generally lower than in straight lifts because of the way the load is distributed on the sling when it is wrapped around the load and then attached back to itself. The green color signifies specific load capacities as standardized in the lifting industry, and for this length, the 4,200-pound rating aligns with those industry standards for use in this manner.

Understanding the rated capacities for different sling configurations is crucial for safety and efficiency in rigging operations, ensuring loads are moved safely without exceeding the limitations of the equipment being used.
