What load-leveler distributes the load equally between two sling legs during tandem lifts?

• A. Equalizer beam
• B. Beam clamps
• C. Link
• D. Hook design

Answer: (A)

Distributing the load evenly between two sling legs in tandem lifts requires a device that ties the legs together so they share the weight. An equalizer beam acts as a spreader bar that connects the two sling legs to a single lifting point, forcing similar tension in each leg and helping keep the load balanced even if the legs have slightly different lengths or angles. This reduces the tendency for one leg to take more load and minimizes tilting or side loading. Clamps are meant to grip or secure components, a simple link plugs pieces together without balancing forces, and hook design affects attachment shape rather than distributing load across multiple legs.
