Maybe I've got this wrong but it seems to me you are worried about busting your swing cheek pulley.

I wouldnt neg rig from this ,just take smaller bits and maybe just use steel krab and sling to rig from,if you dont have any other kit. Keep it light you will be fine:001_smile:

 

Mate, that isn't the best advice I have ever read.

 

The Swing check pull would be my choice every day over a sling and krab.

 

For a start the bend radius of the rope as it goes around the crab can be enough to slice straight through the rope as it is loaded. The bend radius of a pulley is much greater and therefore less likely to damage the rope.

 

Obviously sizes of chunks depends on the type of pulley and the SWL.
