This video was BRILLIANT! You explained it so easy. Thank you!!!

From someone who didn’t finish school and went into lifting… never really got taught about this stuff,literally hook it on and go. This is explained so simple!!! Massive shout out Kev, I reached out before and when I do my AP I 100% will be making the trek up to you!!!!!

I work within arigging and lifting operation workplace and although I work to all the safety guidelines of the plans and equipment specs, I’m ashamed to say I have a real hard time grasping the mathematics and basic physics behind load lifting. Not the brightest of people when it comes to classroom learning and this is the best broken down explanation of the stuff I need to know. So thank you very much

Brilliant this Kevin - Thank you

Brilliant ty,,been a supervisor for over a year and ive only really understood PROPERLY the mode factors after watching your vids...a big thanks 👍

Yes, I agree, I am Appointed Person, I recently obtained the ticket ALLMI, and let me tell you something. I got better informed by you in this video than the course I took with them. I have been a class 2 lorry driver and hiab operator for over 12 years. At my 56 years of age, at this stage it is very difficult for someone to impress me, but you made it very easy to understand. I have subscribed because I want to see how you start this process. Currently, I am building my template for elaborating lift plans.

Brilliant video, thankyou very much for this. I honestly wish the training courses Iv been on had explained it like this

Excellent tutorial many thanks for this video.

A bundul of thanks. My dear Teacher. Wonderful Training

Very well explained, many thanks for this video

great explanation! thanks

Well explained and informative.

great job. everything very clear. thanks

Amazing job there. Every single point came out well with detailed explanation. From the initial part of the video, I want to point out that the red material attached (pad eye) increased from one to two. This also added to the total load weight. However, the illustration was clearly understood. Thanks

Awesome delivery thank you

very informative. many thanks

Thanks , great explination

thanks a lot for tutorial, good explain

Good explain , thank you teacher .

Good work

Excellent explanation thank you sir,

Very Well Explained again

Great video learnt a lot thank you

Absolutely fantastic video. I learnt a lot. Very well done and I hope there’s more to follow.

Surprised by the negative feedback. I thought the sound was fine. Even my Yankee ears followed every word. The opening demonstration using scales was the best I have seen. The speaker spoke clear, no pauses, no echo that many youtube videos suffer from. The explanation of the mode factor was very good. The repeated emphasis on the answer being for one sling strength and the fact that 4 pt lift can't have equal loads, so treated as 3 sling, could be a lifesaver. On a related topic I watched a video of a tower erection disaster. It was not a sling failure but the workers did not know how to calculate what the lift point (makeshift U-bolt of some kind) should be. I believe 5 were killed and the entire communication tower fell. If there is not an engineer there, workers having the basics will improve the odds of everyone going home at the end of the shift. Great tutorial!

Thank you good lecture carry on

Thanks.

Thank you

Excellent I thinking doing my crane supervisor on your centre

Great Video M8

Hi. If is a rectangular load and a round load and I'm lifting using vertical basket hitch method the loading factor is double in both situations? (Using webbing slings for example) Thank you

Excellent tutorial thanks! I sub'd to the channel as a result👍🏽

This is honestly amazing and never really understood it. Took the time to watch this video and it amazing thank you so much. I am off to work to upset some people now. Do you have any recommendations for a pocket book I can keep on me?

Hello, how would these principles apply to the lifting anchors, for example most anchors have a SWL of 2.5t. in my example my slab ways 5t, i have 4no anchors which have a SWL of 2.5t. my question is because there is 4 chains connected thats why the anchors wont pull out? i.e. load distributed across all anchors?

Great video thanks, I have a AP61 course in Feb 2019 and I need as much advice as possible..

Very informative video. However, I have a question. As I understand, and as you’ll see on the label of most webbing slings, when you choke a load with a sling, you are to reduce the safe working load limit by 20%. So the question is, if I use two chain slings, attach them to two flat webbing slings, and then choke the load with the webbing slings, how would I calculate the swl? Assuming the webbing slings have a lower swl than the chain slings, would i use the unified load method to determine the swl of the webbing slings then deduct 20% from it?

Just been refreshing my knowledge..This video really helped thank you. So if I hung up 3 legs of a 4 legged set-up..would i just need to divide the wll by 2.1 to find the max load I could lift on 1 chain ?

Hi there. great video. You seem very clued up and I really enjoyed this video, forget the haters who leave silly replies. Can i just ask, what about if you are working with a 4 leg chain set, and the tag has maximum info, rather than bare minimum like nowadays. And the tag states that if using 1 leg, vertical, like a drop chain with no choke, just attached to a lifting point of an accessory, that it has the equivalent of a single leg chain? It seems that no one wants to put there name to it. For instance a single leg of a 6.7t set of 4 chains can lift 3.15t. I have seen this stamped on numerous 4 leg chain tags in the past, but nowadays they just state the minimum info on the tags, and not what 1 leg vertical will do. Obviously all chains are made to the same spec, the only difference is the alloy grade which upgrades the capacity when going to grade 10 alloy for instance. In your time, have you honestly not seen a tag state ( on 10mm grade 8) that 1 leg vertical will do 3.15 with the other 3 hung up?? Im very interested to hear your reply. Best regards

Great explanation thanks 🫡

Nice, interested in your online course

Hi mate you said you was going to do a video on uneven loads. Can't find that on you're channel? Get stuff btw

Can you please explain how are you coming up with these mode factors. Thanks bin advance

Hi Kevin, Please correct me if Im wrong...... so the tension in the sling becomes 6.3 so for example to pick up a 6 tonne load I could use 2 x 4.5 tonne slings which could lift a total of 12.6 tonnes altogether? Many thanks

Hi Keven, thanks for very useful lesson. I've just got one question. If we use 4 slings as you show on your drawing with 60° angle but with transverse spreader / lifting beam will it still be 2.1 factor applicable or the weight will be spread different way geometrically?

I think we devide And thin multiply what I've seen other videos,, what totally is exactly or this is your other solution

Great video but what about using two x two legger chain as a four legged

What about 6 point lift using spreader beam is it 0.7 mode apply for each leg?

👍 one

Do you consider how the load is slung ,example choked? Please could you breath through ❤

sir what's mode factor of 30 & 45 deg? plz reply fast, i am still waiting for my previous!

Just one question..Surely with angles over 90 the mode factors should increase given the tention

For last example 4.53te WLL , Is the tension on sling also 4.53te? If not how to calculate tensoin on sling?

sir how i can get the mode factor table? or can you send me. plz reply.

Can someone tell me why? It's not to do with leverage is it?

swl training lifting operations pocket assistant book how do I go about getting one please

How do you get 1.5 under 90-120 angle

What happened Mr. Kaven ? You haven't been posting videos for few years now. Did you open a new channel?

Please How do I get a copy of the small booklet ?

whats the deference between WLL and SWL?

So if you have 4 vertical slings are you saying the mode factor would still be 2.1?

I have watched this video twice and I am now certain that although the information presented isn’t clear, it’s good information to eventually learn, the presentation is horrible.

Interesting facts, but the sound quality is bad, also the distracting background of the block wall is a poor presentation. The projector slide should have much darker colours such as black - because it's difficult to see on this format or simply use a wipe board. It was not clear in the presentation where the figures come from; 1.4, 1, 2.1, 1.5 are what?
