Slings have the largest workload limit when using a which hitch?

• A. Vertical Hitch
• B. No Hitch
• C. Basket Hitch
• D. Choker Hitch

Answer: (C)

Using a basket hitch distributes the load between two sling legs, so the weight is shared and the effective capacity is increased compared to a single-leg configuration. This two-point support lets the sling carry more safely, making it the option with the largest workload limit. A vertical hitch uses only one leg, so it doesn’t gain that shared-load advantage. A choker hitch constricts the load and concentrates stress, reducing the effective WLL. “No hitch” isn’t a real lifting method and offers no advantage in capacity.
