Sling Length Selection Calculator – Rev 0 is a one-page interactive PDF tool designed to help users select an effective sling length range before checking sling angle and MAR/WLL requirements.
This tool is useful when planning or adjusting a lift setup and asking:
Given my vertical rise and spread, what effective sling length range should I use?
What’s Included
- Sling Length Selection Calculator – Rev 0 PDF
- ReadMe / License / Disclaimer – Rev 0
What It Calculates
The calculator provides:
- Offset used
- Target effective sling length
- Length at standard angle
- Maximum length at minimum angle
- Effective length selection range
- Simple geometry status
It supports:
- Two-leg symmetric lifts
- Single-side offset geometry
Inputs and outputs use a practical feet/inches format.
Sling Angle Geometry Calculator – Rev 0 is a one-page interactive PDF tool designed to help riggers, supervisors, and lift planners calculate the sling angle relative to the horizontal using simple field measurements.
This tool is useful when sling lengths are changed, connection points are adjusted, or the crew needs to verify the actual sling angle before checking rigging component requirements.

Calculation Methods Included
The calculator includes three common geometry methods:
Method A – Vertical Rise + Horizontal Offset
Use when the rise and offset are measurable in the field.
Method B – Sling Length + Vertical Rise
Use when the effective sling length and vertical rise are known.
Method C – Sling Length + Horizontal Offset
Use when the effective sling length and horizontal offset are known.
Each method outputs the sling angle from horizontal to two decimal places and provides a green/yellow/red status based on the standard and minimum angle settings.
