So it probably has a MBS of say 30kn. Which using a 10:1 safety factor gives you 300kgs. But its intended for one person so its WLL is one person, and for easy figures that is described as 100kgs, which if converted to american is 220lbs

 

It does not mean that someone 105kgs cant use it.

 

 

 

Cheers for that:thumbup1:

 

kinda makes sense now!

Ok, it was just an example. Is that all harnesses?

 

If we use 15kN then, SWL 150 kgs, WLL one person is still 100kgs, but its ok if you are 150kgs.

 

150kgs = 330 LBS, 23.5 stone, so I think we are all fine then!

 

Cheers!!

Rupe
