When calculating allowable lifting loads and bridle leg
lengths for the lifting condition illustrated in Figure 35, use
Table 5 and Table 6 to determine the maximum number of
M3Ds and allowed bridle leg lengths required to conform to
the appropriate safety factor for the venue. The distance between lifting lugs in the configuration shown
in Figure 35 is 29.35 inches (746 mm).
