WHAT IS LIFTCALC?
LIFTCALC is an EXCEL spreadsheet that was created to assist individuals that are involved with planning
maintenance activities that will require rigging and lifting of equipment. It is NOT intended to supersede any
equipment manufacturers instructions, plant procedures, or regulatory requirements. It is NOT intended to
replace sound engineering evaluations and calculations. All calculations must be verified by a
qualified person.
The single most important rigging precaution is to determine the weight of a load before attempting to lift it,
making ample allowances for unknown factors, and determining the available capacity of the equipment being
used. It is equally important to rig the load so that it is stable, and the center of gravity is below the hook. The
safety of personnel involved in rigging and hoisting operations largely depends upon care and common sense.
Remember these safe practices:
1.) Know the working load limit (WLL) of the equipment being used. NEVER exceed this limit.
2.) Determine the load weight before selecting rigging equipment. Don't attempt to lift a load that has an
undetermined weight.
3.) The WLL of all rigging equipment appies only to freely-suspended loads on plumb hoist lines.
4.) Sharp bends with slings must be avoided. Corner pads or softeners shall always be used.

4.) Sharp bends with slings must be avoided. Corner pads or softeners shall always be used.
BASIC VOLUME and WEIGHTS
This section performs simple computations on some typical shapes, and provides a list of materials to choose
the corresponding weight for.
ESTIMATING WEIGHTS OF EQUIPMENT
This section will provide an "ESTIMATE" of equipment. The manufacturer should always be consulted for the
exact weight, but if this is not possible then this calculation will provide a weight that is conservatively "HIGH"
for safety considerations.
RATED CAPACITY OF RIGGING COMPONENTS
The WLL listed have been taken from OSHA, ANSI B30.9 and manufacturers ratings. They are assumed
correct, but always check the ratings listed on the actual equipment whenever possible.
SLING ANGLES and REDUCTION in SWL's.
This whole topic is probably the most misunderstood area of safe rigging and hoisting. Rigging equipment is
rated for VERTICAL lifting, whenever any angles are involved the WLL of the equipment is reduced! The
situations in the tension sections should, if nothing else, make the user aware of the inherent
DANGERS involved with angular rigging.

INDUSTRY CODES AND STANDARDS OVERVIEW
Reference
Slings shall not be loaded in excess of their rated capacities
Slings shall be padded or protected from the sharp edges of their loads
Each day before being used, the sling and all fastenings and attachments shall be inspected for damage or
defects by a competent person designated by the employer. Additional inspections shall be performed during
sling use, where service conditions warrant. Damaged or defective slings shall be immediately removed from
service.
The design factor for alloy steel chain slings shall be a minimum of 4
Horizontal sling angles less than 30 deg shall not be used except as recommended by the sling manufacturer
or a qualified person
In a choker hitch, an angle of choke less than 120 degrees should not be used without reducing the rated load
The design factor for wire rope slings shall be a minimum of 5

Horizontal sling angles less than 30° shall not be used except as recommended by the sling manufacturer or a
qualified person
NOTE: Rated loads for basket hitches and bridle slings are based on symmetrical loading. For multiple-leg
slings used with nonsymmetrical loads, an analysis by a qualified person should be performed to prevent
overloading of any leg.
These rated loads are based on ... diameter of curvature over which the sling is used (D/d)
Sharp edges in contact with the sling should be padded with material of sufficient strength to protect the sling.
In a choker hitch, the choke point should only be on the sling body, not on a splice or fitting.
In a choker hitch, an angle of choke less than 120 deg should not be used without reducing the rated load.
Rated loads for angles of choke less than 120 deg shall be determined by using the values in ASME B30.9 -
Fig. 7, the sling manufacturer, or a qualified person.
The design factor for synthetic webbing slings shall be a minimum of 5

Tables 19 through 23 (in ASME B30.9) show rated loads for singleleg vertical, choker, basket hitches, and two-
leg bridle slings. For angles other than those shown in these tables,use the rated load for the next lower angle,
or a qualified person shall calculate the rated load.
Horizontal sling angles less than 30 deg shall not be used except as recommended by the sling manufacturer
or a qualified person. NOTE: Rated loads for basket hitches and bridle slings are based on symmetrical
loading.
Rated loads for angles of choke less than 120 deg shall be determined by using the values in Fig. 20, the sling
manufacturer, or a qualified person.
For multiple-leg slings used with nonsymmetrical loads, an analysis by a qualified person should be performed
to prevent overloading of any leg.
Multiple-leg slings shall be selected according to Tables 19 through 23 (in ASME B30.9) when used at the
specific angles given in the table. Operation at other angles shall be limited to rated loads of the next lower
angle given in the table or calculated by a qualified person.
Rated loads cited in this chapter are based on pin diameters shown in WSTDA-WS-1. Pin diameters smaller
than these may reduce the rated load of the sling.
In a choker hitch, the choke point should only be on the sling body, not on a splice or fitting.
In a choker hitch, an angle of choke less than 120 deg should not be used without reducing the rated load
The design factor for roundslings shall be a minimum of 5

Table 24 (in ASME B30.9) shows rated capacity for single-leg vertical, choker, basket hitches, and two-leg
bridle slings. For angles other than those shown in this table, use the rated load for the next lower angle, or a
qualified person shall calculate the rated load.
Horizontal sling angles leSS than 30 deg shall not be used except as recommended by the sling manufacturer
or a qualified person. NOTE: Rated loads for basket hitches and bridle slings are based on symmetrical
loading. See para. 9-6.10.l(d) for nonsymmetrical loading.
Rated loads for slings used in a choker hitch shall conform to the values shown in Table 24, provided that the
angle of choke is 120 deg or greater (see Fig. 23 in ASME B30.9)
Rated loads for angles of choke less than 120 deg shall be determined by ushg the values in Fig. 23 (in ASME
B30.9), the sling manufacturer, or a qualified person
For multiple-leg slings used with nonsymmetrical loads, an analysis by a qualified person should be performed
to prevent overloading of any leg.
Multiple-leg slings shall be selected according to Table 24 when used at the specific angles given in the table.
Operation at other angles shall be limited to rated loads of the next lower angle given in the table or calculated
by a qualified person.
Rated loads ...are based on pin diameters shown in WSTDA-RS-1
In a choker hitch, an angle of choke less than 120 deg should not be used without reducing the rated load.

Note: all conversion into and out of the English Fluid section use 231 cubic inches per gallon as the basis. This is exact.
All conversions are exact.
All units except Acre-Feet are in international units, in which 1 inch = 25.4mm exactly. See notes on "Area" above.
For Acre-Feet, the definition is based on the "US Survey foot', which is accounted for by the (0.999998)^3 factor in the equations

This should be used only when the type of shape is not know
(ie: WF16 X 40). It will calculate the approximate weight based
on rough field measurements. The result will always be about
4% to 8% more than the actual weight for a steel beam of the
indicated size. This will ensure that the rigging used will be
sufficient.

TPXC is the best synthetic sling made by SlingMax (as of 2006). It is made with K-Spec® high performance fibers, and it has a
bulked nylon outer cover (Covermax®) that is very abrasion resistant.
All of these slings have overload tell-tails, inner red cover, and are used worldwide in place of chain and wire rope slings for
heavy lifts. Also, they are repairable. They have fiber optics for inspection. The Twin-Path® patented design provides the rigger
with redundant protection in the event that one path is cut. These slings have 1% stretch at rated capacity and are made in
matched lengths. These slings conform to ASME B30.9 Chapter 9-6 and US Navy NAVFAC P-307 Section 14.
