What is the safe working load for different RT 6 products?
30 June 2021
The RT6 range is designed to span from coastal to deep ocean and light work to heavy work. With releases the Working Load Limit (WLL) is always a key piece of information, alongside proof load, breaking load and the maximum safe release load. But what are these for our RT6 range?
The below table summarises the limits across our entire RT6 range.
RT 6-1000 | RT 6-3000 | RT 6-6000 | RT 6-HD | Heavy duty acoustic release frame (RT 6-3000 & RT 6-6000) Type 7869 | Heavy duty acoustic release frame (RT 6-3000 & RT 6-6000) Type 7988 | |
Working Load Limit (4:1) | 150 kg | 1,275 kg | 1,275 kg | 2.500 kg | 7,500 kg (7.5 tonnes) | 25 tonnes |
Proof Load | 300 kg | 2,550 kg | 2,550 kg | 5,000 kg | 15 tonnes | 50 tonnes |
Breaking Load | 600 kg | 5,100 kg | 5,100 kg | 10,000 kg | 30 tonnes | 100 tonnes |
Maximum safe release load | 150 kg | 1,700 kg | 1,700 kg | 11 tonnes | 11 tonnes |
Note that the individual datasheets go into more detail on the above numbers.
