Vertical, choker and basket hitches load the sling differently, so each has its own rated capacity on the tag.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat happens to capacity as the sling angle decreases?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTension rises. At 60 degrees each leg carries about 1.15x the share of the load; at 45 degrees about 1.41x; at 30 degrees about 2x. Shallow angles are where rigging failures concentrate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhen must a sling be removed from service?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eASME B30.9 requires removal for a missing or illegible tag, broken or worn stitching, cuts, holes, snags, chemical or heat damage, or any distortion of fittings. Damaged slings are destroyed, not repaired.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDo slings need periodic inspection?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. ASME B30.9 calls for inspection by the user before each use and a documented periodic inspection at intervals based on service severity, at least annually for normal service.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I use a sling around a sharp edge?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNot without protection.
