EasyRigging load test ER-W2.5B (Moth rigging)
EasyRigging has put her smallest rigging under really high tension. The tested cables did not break under severe pressure. We tested a ER-W2.5B equal to a 2,5 mm wire with a break load of 520 kg and a diameter of 2,4 mm.
EasyRigging advises users never to exceed over 50% of the break load. This may affect the lifespan of the cables.
