AWLL is the abbreviation for Working Load Limit. It means the maximum allowable load that a piece of rigging equipment can safely lift; it is also sometimes called “rated load” or “rated capacity”.
Rigging users must be aware that the WLL of a piece of rigging may be reduced by several factors such as temperature, environment, and angle of loading or type of hitch used.

ADirty in a web/round sling can promote internal abrasion that can reduce sling strength and possibly shorten sling life.
Q What is the difference between G80 and G100 Chain?
AGrade 100 chain slings are approximately 25% stronger than grade 80 chain slings of the same diameter. The chain is harder, resulting in greater abrasion resistance and, therefore, longer life.
