Selfweight of spreader bar and other lifting equipment W1 = 3.7 MT (weight of spreader bar from App. A, 30% contingency included)
Load on module lifting point (grid-A) W2=Max(A1,A2,A3,A4) = 26.0 MT
Load on module lifting point (grid-B) W3=Max(B1,B2,B3,B4) = 37.0 MT
Total load of sling at spreader bar W=W1+W2+W3 = 66.7 MT
Tension on sling L1 TL1 = 45.5 MT
