Which component serves as the lift point on fuel blivets?

• A. 5/8 in screw pin clevis
• B. A-22 Cargo Bag handle
• C. M119A2 equipment crib
• D. A-22 Bag strap

Answer: (A)

Lift points for sling loads have to be strong, rated hardware that can securely connect the load to the helicopter rigging. The 5/8 inch screw pin clevis is designed exactly for this role: it provides a secure, load-rated connection that can be quickly attached to the sling line and locked in place with the pin. This keeps the load stable and reduces the risk of slippage or detachment during lift. The other options aren’t built for sling-load lifting: bag handles and bag straps aren’t rated for the dynamic forces of air movement and can fail under load, and the M119A2 equipment crib is ground equipment used for stabilizing or supporting gear on the ground, not for lifting. So the screw pin clevis is the correct lift point on fuel blivets.
