The shoulder should be in full contact with the surface of the object being lifted. Use a spreader bar with regular (non-shoulder) eye bolts to keep the lift angle at 90° to the horizontal. Use eye bolts at a horizontal angle greater than 45°. Sling strength at 45° is 71% of vertical sling capacity.
