Skid Lifting Impact Factor
- Thread starter ibrov
- Start date
25 % as an impact factor is probably ok but you also need to allow for unequal load sharing in the slings. 75:25 split is commonly used (ie one pair of diagonally opposite slings designed to take 75% of the total load. API RP2A (for offshore lifts)requires a total factor of 2, which includes dynamic effects and unequal sling loads.
Hope this helps!
