Multi-Leg Bridle Slings

Legs on 4-leg bridle slings do not share load equally. Usually ONLY 2-SLING LEGS support the load weight.

A 3-leg bridle distributes the load to all 3-legs

A 4-leg bridle can result in only 2-legs holding the load. When one of 4 legs is longer, then that leg and the leg on the diagonal corner lose their share of the load.

Reasons how one leg can be longer than the other 3:

• One leg manufactured longer
• One leg stretched
• One leg has different size shackle
• One pad eye is sized differently
• Sling eyes bunch up in top shackle
