A method utilizing an assembly of a sling detachably attached to an adjustment device for suspending one structure relative to another structure. The adjustment device comprises a pair of elongate spaced apart plates which are attached to each other and to a hook, for attachment to one of the structures, at the first end portion. Each plate has a plurality of pairs of longitudinally spaced aligned holes for receiving a pin for connecting one end of a sling to the adjustment device at a selected incremental one of the plurality of pairs of holes. The other end of the sling is connected to the other structure to adjust the distance over which the one structure is suspended relative to the other structure. To allow greater adjustability, two or more of the adjustment devices are joined end-to-end.

A suspension assembly for suspending a lower structure such as a platform or platform portion from an upper structure such as ad bridge. A sling includes a cable one end of which is attachable to the upper structure and an other end of which has an eyelet formed by folding an end portion of the cable back over the cable and swaging the end portion of the cable to the cable. A chain having a plurality of links and has an end portion which is attached to the eyelet by receiving the end portion of the cable in one of the links in the end portion of the chain before the end portion of the cable is swaged to the cable. The chain has an other end portion which is attachable to the lower structure by a selected one of its links to be adjustably suspended from the upper structure.
