How many lifting points are described in total?

• A. 4 lifting points
• B. 8 lifting points
• C. 6 lifting points
• D. 10 lifting points

Answer: (C)

Counting lifting points means identifying every point the lifting gear is described to attach to. Each distinct lug, pad eye, or anchor that is explicitly designated for hoisting is counted once, and you don’t double-count the same point if multiple lines use it. Also, only include points that are specifically described as suitable for lifting—ignore handles or tie-downs that aren’t rated for lifting. In this scenario, six lifting points are described in total, so six is the number you’d use for the lift. If you saw more features on a diagram, you’d only count those that are explicitly described as lifting points; extra items not intended for lifting wouldn’t be included, and omitting a described point would undercount.
