6.0 Rigging-Strength Ratings and Safety Factors (cont’)
6.5 HRK Rigging Structural Ratings for Horizontal Clusters
The guidelines for simplified horizontal structural ratings cover the following information:
1. Maximum height of the cluster.
2. Maximum weight of the cluster.
3. Cluster combinations, per weight and height.
4. Using tie plates for suspension.
5. Suspension-line angles for HRK rigging.
6. Symmetry of cluster.
7. Inner connection points.
8. Left-to-right horizontal cluster angles.
Using the HRK horizontal rigging kits, any combination of EVF and EVH enclosures can be assembled in
a cluster as long as the WLL, angles, and height limits are observed. For horizontal clusters, left-to-right
symmetry must also be observed to keep even loads across suspension lines.
Table 13:
Maximum load and maximum height for horizontal clusters
LIMITS FOR HORIZONTAL CLUSTERS ONLY
Maximum Working Load Limit Maximum Height
Three-over-Three = 980 lb (445 kg)
Two-over-Two = 634 lb (288 kg)
Max. Two Enclosures High
or 5.25 ft (160.1 cm)
Table 14 gives a brief guide to the cluster combinations possible within the WLL of the EVF and EVH
enclosures.
