Loup
®
Strength
Loup strength will vary depending on: Configuration – One configuration may be more than twice as strong as another. Carefully match strength requirements to the
configuration and corresponding SWL shown in the chart below. Attachment Points – Determine weakest link in the attachment chain. Is it the block? The Loup? The
padeye? Consult chart below for padeye loading at various angles. Condition of Attachment – Loup must attach to round bails or radiused corners. Sharp, rough edges
or corners will cut into Loups, reducing their strength over time. Age of Loup – Strength of Loup is based on their being in like new condition. See chart below.

Even when bail is aligned with load, padeye strength will vary depending on load angle—see below.
WARNING! Strictly follow all instructions to avoid an accident, damage to your vessel,
personal injury or death. See www.harken.com/manuals for additional safety information.
= Incorrect. Avoid to prevent accidents.
WARNING! Load applied sideways to the bail greatly
reduces the strength. Always align padeye bail to load
for maximum strength to prevent breakage below
