6.0 Rigging-Strength Ratings and Safety Factors (cont’)

6.4 VRK Rigging Structural Ratings for Vertical Clusters

The guidelines for simplified vertical structural ratings cover the following information:

1.

Maximum length of the cluster.

2.

Maximum weight of the cluster.

3.

WLL for eyebolts.

4.

Trim angle.

5.

Tie points for eyebolts.

6.

Left-to-right vertical cluster angles.

The majority of vertical clusters will be suspended using a combination of VRK vertical rigging kits and

factory-supplied eyebolts. For a vertical cluster, select the eyebolt position that results in the highest eye-

bolt strength as shown in Table 12. Different eyebolt positions are shown in Figure 28.
