RIGGING WLL CALCULATOR — GET THE RIGHT SAFETY FACTOR

Enter break strength and rigging type. Get the correct WLL with the right safety factor applied.

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 strap or chain type, grade, and dimensions. The calculator outputs the break strength, WLL (at the applicable safety factor), and the maximum legal working load.

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.
