Characteristics of the 25K lbs sling set.

• A. 1 in, 12 ft, 8 ft, 100-120 links, 1 1/2 in, 100 lbs
• B. 1 1/2 in, 12 ft, 8 ft, 84-88 links, 1 3/4 in, 120 lbs
• C. 1 1/4 in, 12 ft, 8 ft, 84-88 links, 1 1/2 in, 114 lbs
• D. 1 1/4 in, 14 ft, 9 ft, 90-95 links, 1 1/2 in, 110 lbs

Answer: (C)

Understanding the exact dimensions and weight of a 25,000-pound sling set helps ensure it fits the load and rigging points correctly and remains safe during lift operations. The standard sling set for this rating uses a 1 1/4 inch diameter sling, a total length of 12 feet, an 8-foot usable working length, 84–88 links in the chain section, a 1/2 inch?—No, 1 1/2 inch—dimension related to the connector or eye size, and a total weight around 114 pounds. This combination matches the certified configuration used in air assault training and real lifts, giving the correct balance of strength, reach, and compatibility with shackles and hooks.

Other options deviate in at least one parameter—diameter, overall length, working length, chain link count, or weight—so they don’t align with the standard 25K sling set. Matching these specs ensures the sling set will perform as rated and interface properly with the lifting gear.
