Flying with eyebolts
The Allen-head screws must be removed and replaced by M10 eyebolts on one side of
the enclosure. Each rigging point has 200 kg (440 lb) working load limit. Then choose the
slings or chains of required load resistance and length, bearing in mind that the length
difference between the front and back slings or chains will determine the vertical orientation.
Alternatively, the back bottom eyebolt points can be used to provide vertical orientation.
The ANL-2 set is an optional set of four eyebolts and four carabiners. (Dimensions are in
milimetres).
Each ANL-2 eyebolt has a rated working load of 200 kg. (440 lb). Each ANL-2 carabiner has
a working load of 330 kg (726 lb). If using other hardware, make sure it is rated to handle the
required load.
When using eyebolts it is important to bear in mind that the rated working load is only true for
a load applied in the plane of the eye, and is significantly reduced for other angles. The drawing
illustrates the concept. The table shows the variation of the working load as a function of the
load angle. In the case of the ANL-2 eyebolt, this means that the 200 kg working load becomes
60 kg at 45 degrees. Do not use eyebolt flying if the load angle is higher than 45 degrees.
The following illustrations show
different views on eyebolt
flying for a single box. The
length of the back cables or
chains determines the vertical
angle of the box.
