Which type of clevis is best used when heavier loads are required?

The Large Suspension Clevis is designed to handle heavier loads due to its size and construction materials, which are specifically selected to provide greater strength and durability. This clevis typically features a thicker metal and a broader design compared to the smaller clevis options, allowing it to safely support significant weights typically encountered in military and heavy-lift operations.

In contrast, the smaller clevis options, such as the Small and Medium Suspension Clevis, are intended for lighter loads, thus lacking the structural integrity necessary for heavier applications. While the Extra Large Suspension Clevis might also be capable of supporting heavy loads, its designation suggests a size that is more advantageous for very large or specialized applications beyond what is typically required for standard operations. Therefore, the Large Suspension Clevis strikes the right balance between strength and versatility for most heavy load situations.
