* adjustable from 4 to 8 inches
 
-
* placeable on sloping I-beam up to 12 degree slope

** WLL is not the same as MBS. It has a Design Factor (DF) built in for safety. That factor is not documented; OSHA talks about factor 2 in other parts of its standard. But without specification, we assume that the MBS is only negligibly greater than the WLL.
