Which load configuration uses two attachment points?

• A. Dual-Point
• B. Single-Point
• C. Tandem
• D. Side-by-Side

Answer: (A)

Two attachment points create a stable lift by distributing the load between two connection points, which helps balance the load and control sling angles during a hoist. The Dual-Point configuration is defined by using two attachment points, making it the explicit choice when two points are required. This setup improves load distribution and reduces the risk of sway or rotation compared to a single-point hookup, where all the lift forces converge at one spot. The other terms describe different arrangements: a single-point uses just one connection and is more prone to instability; tandem refers to two points arranged along the length of the load for long items, while side-by-side places two points laterally for width but serves different load geometries.
