75%/25% skew load for 4 point lifts
75%/25% skew load for 4 point lifts
(OP)
When there is a 4-point lift, you need to account for skew loads due to sling length inaccuracies etc. Sometimes a 75/25% split in sling forces is used. It's been 15 years since I've done such a calc and I'm looking for a reference to the 75/25 split and _only_ the 75/25 split. I know about the API 2A factor of 2 or the DNV factor of 1.25 but in this case it is a reference to the 75/25 split which I'm after.
It's the same 75/25 split that this guy is talking about

I remember reading this 75/25 factor in a design code but I just can't remember which design code. Does anybody know?
