RIGGING WLL CALCULATOR — BREAK STRENGTH AT A 5:1 FACTOR
Calculate Break Strength and Safe Working Load for Any Rigging Setup
WLL is not break strength. Confusing the two is how equipment fails and people get hurt. Know the actual numbers for your rigging.
Enter your break strength and application type. The calculator outputs the WLL at the safety factor that applies to that use.
OSHA and FMCSA both require rigging to operate within its rated WLL. Breaking load is typically 3–7x the WLL — using break strength as a working load is a violation.
Riggers, flatbed operators, fleet managers, and off-road recovery teams.
