What is the load rating of the Three Foot Apex Ring?

• A. 10,000 lbs
• B. 5,000 lbs
• C. 12,500 lbs
• D. 2,000 lbs

Answer: (A)

The load rating is the safe working load the hardware is designed to carry in regular use, incorporating a safety margin. For the Three Foot Apex Ring, this rating is 10,000 pounds, meaning it can safely support up to that weight when installed and used as intended. This specification reflects the ring’s material strength and design for anchoring in A.A. operations. Smaller ratings like 5,000 or 2,000 pounds would provide less safety margin, while a rating of 12,500 pounds would exceed the device’s stated specification. So, the correct load rating to rely on is 10,000 pounds.
