The width of the sling bar
When assessing for the right size, measure the shoulder width of the user; the sling bar should have approximately the same length.
If the sling bar is too narrow the user might feel cramped and uncomfortable - and the respiration could be affected.
On the other hand, if the sling bar is much too wide there is a risk that the user is pushed forward in the sling because the head straps of the slings are being pulled outwards. This is especially important to think about when hoisting children and small adults.
Small Sling Bar, loop width, 13 3/8 inches
Medium Sling Bar, loop width, 17 3/8 inches
Large Sling Bar, loop width, 21 1/4 inches
