And what's your excuse Dave?

Recommended SWL 10:1, therefore 600Kg.

Sorry to interrupt. I'm doing a loler course in september and I'd kinda like to get my head around this kind of question in advance. Where can I find the source of these recommendations and is there a set of calculations to draw from or is it just good old maths?

so what does cs 41 training recomend

[Tom D]

Officially the swl for textiles is 7:1 but often its easier to go 10:1 just to make the maths simple. especialy if you have an mbs instead of average strengh.

I've not done cs 41 but have substantial experience in dismantling. Looked at the assessment schedule and it doesn't go into any detail on it, so how do I get this elusive information? Tom D, do you mind me asking where you get this 'official' ratio from?
