Which item has the capacity to 12,500 lbs?

• A. Large Clevis
• B. Reach Pendant (large)
• C. Fuel Blivets
• D. A7A Strap

Answer: (A)

The item able to handle 12,500 lbs is the large clevis. Rigging hardware like a clevis is specifically rated for high load capacities, and this size is published at 12,500 lbs, which is why it’s the best choice for that weight. The reach pendant, while strong, is typically rated for a lower load and is used to connect and position loads rather than carry the full lifting capacity alone. Fuel blivets are containers for fuel, not a primary lifting hardware with a published load rating for 12,500 lbs. The A7A strap has its own working load limit that’s also below that level and is used for securing rather than serving as the main load-bearing connection at that weight. So, the large clevis is the component designed to meet that 12,500-lb capacity.
