In a single-point sling load configuration, how many loads are carried and how many hooks are used?

• A. Two loads rigged, side-by-side
• B. One load rigged, uses one hook
• C. One load rigged, uses two hooks
• D. Two loads rigged, one in front of the other

Answer: (B)

In a single-point sling load, there is a single attachment point and a single load is carried. That means one load is rigged and one hook is used. The term “single-point” indicates only one hook is involved, so it can’t carry multiple loads or use multiple hooks. The other options describe configurations with more than one hook or more than one load, which belong to different sling configurations.
