Dumb newbie question

What’s the WLL acronym stand for......? I know what it is but don’t know what the letters stand for.

 

A definition of WLL is: Working Load Limit (WLL) is the maximum working load specified by the manufacturer. This load represents a mass or force that is much less than that required to make the lifting equipment fail or yield, (known as the Minimum Breaking Load - MBL)

 

I see it all the time. New truck/equipment. No clue what they are doing. I do help when I can

 

From another thread a few years back

 

ONCE, getting out of Baltimore, MD., North Bound, Driving for Bulldog Hiway Express (wooda bin like 2000), coming off the east side Loop, Empty, Granny Lane, Construction, got onto 95 and a Right Side box, on Trailer (??) or Truck (??) flew OPEN and I snatched a few glances to see Chains, Ratchet Binders and Straps go sailing into the Jersey Wall. Trailer hit a few pieces yet Tires survived.
I stopped about 1/2 to 1 mile up (where the Jersey Walls ceased) and quickly determined that the incredible RISK of Re-Acquiring all the stuff wasn't worth My Life.
Dispatch agreed and the supplies were replaced.
That was the ONLY TIME I ever "Lost anything" from a Skateboard!

Thanks 4 Reading!
CHEERS!!

 

It’s crazy how many ####ty carriers are out there sharing the roadway with us and our families.

 

YES!!
The real finalists are those that cause harm or death on Highways and offer/give no concern as if the Innocent Humans were "in the way".
