Which item has a rated capacity of 25,000 lbs?

• A. 3/8 hemp rope
• B. 7/16 nylon rope
• C. CGU-1B
• D. CHRP

Answer: (D)

In sling-load gear, the rated capacity (safe working load) is the maximum weight the item is designed to carry safely when used correctly. The CHRP is a heavy-duty cargo hook/rigging device used in helicopter sling-load operations and is designed for loads up to about 25,000 pounds, so it matches that rating. The rope options are limited by material strength and diameter; 3/8 inch hemp rope and 7/16 inch nylon rope can handle only a fraction of that load, typically a few thousand pounds at most, which is well below 25,000. The CGU-1B is a different piece of rigging hardware with its own, much lower rating in standard configurations, so it wouldn’t be the item rated at 25,000 pounds.
