What is a Dual-Point Load Configuration?

• A. One load rigged, one in front of the other, two cargo hooks
• B. Two loads rigged side by side, two hooks
• C. One load rigged uses one hook
• D. Three hooks used

Answer: (A)

In a dual-point load configuration you lift a single payload using two rigging points, with the hooks arranged in line—one in front of the other. This setup distributes the load between two attachment points, helping to balance the weight, improve stability, and reduce sway or tilting during the lift. That’s why the correct description is a single load rigged with two cargo hooks placed one ahead of the other. Lifting two loads side by side would involve two separate loads, using one hook is single-point, and using three hooks goes beyond the two-hook arrangement described here.
