Steps: 1. Determine sling angles. (45) 2. Select corresponding Load Angle Factor. (1.414) 3. Multiply load weight by Load Angle Factor to get total load on sling legs. (2000 lbs x 1.414 = 2828) 4. Divide total load by the number of sling legs. (2828 lbs 2 = 1414 lbs per sling leg) 5. Select slings from the single vertical leg column within the sling capacity table.
