In a multiple single-point sling load, how are loads connected to attachment points?

• A. A single load attached to one hook
• B. Two loads rigged, side-by-side
• C. Loads are connected to two or more attachment points
• D. Loads are connected to two or more hooks only

Answer: (C)

Loads are connected to two or more attachment points. This arrangement distributes the lifting force across several points, which improves stability and allows you to control the load’s attitude during lift. By sharing the load among multiple attachment points, you reduce the sling load on any one point and make the lift smoother and safer. A single-point setup, where the load attaches to just one point, offers less control and is more prone to tipping or sway. Rigging two loads side-by-side describes two separate loads rather than one load connected through multiple points. And limiting connections to hooks only is too restrictive, since attachment points can be other rigging hardware as well.
