The load up to which it is safe to use the lineGrip in a given scenario. Note: does not translate to the industry standard SWL, which is linked to a devices safety factor.
We use SWL in correspondence to EWL, because it's a well known term that is commonly associated correctly with the load at which a device may be used.
MWL - Maximum Working Load
The lineGrip's maximum permissible load.
Designated on the clamping plate as "MAX LOAD".
CST - Common Slipping Threshold
The load at which a lineGrip will typically begin to slip on the webbing.
Note: This load should never be reached! It is not permissible to exceed the MWL under any circumstance!
MBS - Minimum Breaking Strength
The minimum load at which a lineGrip typically fails (breaks).
The weakest part of a lineGrip are the pivot points of the levers (the pegs on the stationary clamping plate).
The strongest part of a lineGrip is the load bracket, which typically withstands 90kN for the G4 and 50kN for the HLG model.
ELC - Environmental Load Condition
The condition your lineGrip is in under the current load at the current temperature.
This can be "Safe", "Caution", "Danger", or "Forbidden".
