Here in Australia, the D/d ratio impacts sling capacity primarily when using synthetic slings, versus wire rope slings and chain slings, which might be more relevant in other parts of the world. A typical example of a load that needs holding together is a bundle of long slender items such as reinforcing rods. It is worth stressing the need to consider at the planning stage the position and security of the method of attachment through all the stages of manipulation. ![]() Other aspects of the load to consider are whether it is flexible, in one piece or needs holding together, is vulnerable to local damage, or must be manipulated in the air. Passing through a suitable aperture has the advantage of making the load captive but you need to be careful that the material around the aperture is strong enough to take the whole load. The all-important D/d ratio is the ratio of the diameter (D) around the object which the sling is bent, divided by the overall diameter (d) of the sling being used.įirst, let’s look at when this equation is applied. In the absence of suitable lifting points, the main options are to attach slings by passing them through or around the load. Therefore, you must understand D/d ratio. ![]() Passing a sling-synthetic or other-around a load can provide support by creating a cradle, but you must make sure that it is securely attached.
