MBL rating of a Plasma rope in a grommet sling form, is created by using the vertical leg MBL multiplied by 1.65. The grommet ratings are conservative and follow the guidelines established by the Cordage Institute. However, higher ratings may be used after consultation with the manufacturer. MBL rating of Plasma rope endless grommet slings used in a vertical basket lift is 1.8 times the vertical grommet MBL rating. This conservative value is used until further testing, especially on large diameters can be performed. For specific lift applications or further clarification of this rating, please contact Cortland. Cortland, at this time, does not recommend the use of plasma rope slings in a choker hitch at a lifting angle of less than 120°. Testing on rated values is not complete and available at this time.
