revision of 

ASME B30.20

  “Below-the-Hook Lifting Devices”.  B30.20 also describes inspections that should be 

performed frequently and periodically inspections. Conduct these inspections as detailed in the standard and with 

the recommended frequency.

4,000 pounds (1818.2 kg). If the capacity of your bulk bag is 3,300 pounds (1500kg), then you must not attempt to 

lift any more than 3,300 pounds.
