INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
AH5040CD INSTALLATION
SUSPENDED INSTALLATION VIA EYEBOLTS (INCLUDED)
AND 1/4" DIAMETER WIRE ROPE
Note: Use of 1/4" load rated wire rope is suggested to provide a static working load limit of 1400
lbs(635kg) / moving load limit of 875lbs (397kg) per fly point. 1/8" cable is not recommended as load
limits are reduced to 400lbs (181kg) static, and 250lbs (113kg) moving.
Considerations for overhead suspension using AH5040CD eyebolts and wire rope:
1. Always apply the load to the eye in the plane of the eye.
2. Always use shoulder eyebolts for angular lifts.
3. Always tighten eyebolts securely against the load.
4. Apply first load to test the assembly. This load should be of equal or greater weight than the
loads expected in use.
5. Use wire rope compression fittings & thimbles whenever possible and prepare terminations only
as instructed by the manufacturer.
6. If wire rope clips are used check and retighten to the manufacturer’s recommended torque.
