What is the rated capacity and lifting provision for the Small Suspension Clevis?

The Small Suspension Clevis is a critical piece of equipment used in air assault operations for the purpose of connecting loads to helicopters and other air mobility platforms. The correct rated capacity of 6,250 lbs refers to the maximum weight that the clevis can safely hold when used in conjunction with specific lifting techniques and procedures. The lifting provision of 3,750 lbs indicates the weight that can be effectively managed or lifted during operations with this device.

Understanding these capacities is vital for ensuring safety and operational effectiveness. When lifting heavier loads, exceeding these limits can jeopardize the integrity of the equipment, the safety of personnel, and the success of the mission. The design and materials of the Small Suspension Clevis are specifically engineered to support these load ratings, making them essential knowledge for personnel trained in air mobility and pathfinding operations.
