-Blue Whoopie Slings have a break strength of 60% of the published average rope break strength.
Note:
For longer sling lengths, determine length needed beyond the maximum length listed in table to right. Multiply the length needed by two and add
resulting amount to cut length. For example: If you need a maximum length of 12 ft. on a 3/4 inch sling, this is 2 ft. longer than the listed max length. Multi-
ply 2 ft. x 2 = 4 ft. Add this to the original cut length (4 ft. + 24 ft. = 28 ft.). Your cut length will need to be 28 ft. to make a sling that adjusts to 12 ft.
All slings use the
same measurements
with proper size fid.

To bury the tail into the standing end, make a mark approximately 2 picks from where the standing
part passes through the tail (Mark C). This will be the tail entry point. From Mark C, measure down
the standing part 2-1/4 fid lengths and make Mark D. Insert fid and tapered tail at Mark C and bring
out at Mark D. Remove fid and smooth the standing part out, which will bury the entire tail.
