FAQs

What is the Safe Working Load (SWL) for this hook?

What size chain is compatible with this hook?

How does the self-locking mechanism work?

The self-locking mechanism ensures the hook's latch automatically closes and locks when a load is applied. The spring release trigger cannot be operated while the hook is under pressure, preventing accidental opening.

The product description states a 'Light Green (Colour May Vary)' finish, meaning the exact shade or color might differ.

What is the Factor of Safety?

The Factor of Safety for this hook is 4:1, meaning it is designed to withstand four times its Safe Working Load before failure.

Will I receive proof of testing?

Troubleshooting

Latch does not close automatically.

Ensure the hook is not obstructed and the spring mechanism is clean and free from debris. Check for any damage to the latch or spring.

Verify that the chain size is 13mm, as specified for this hook. Ensure the chain link is correctly positioned within the hook's throat.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

This clevis hook is designed to be attached to a chain sling. Ensure the clevis end is properly connected to the master link or other appropriate lifting hardware, following standard rigging procedures.

Compatibility:

  • Chain Size: Specifically designed to suit a 13mm chain diameter.
  • Material: Grade 100 lifting gear is compatible with other Grade 100 components.

Care and Maintenance:

  • Inspection: Regularly inspect the hook for signs of wear, deformation, cracks, or corrosion before each use. Pay close attention to the latch mechanism and the clevis pin area.
  • Cleaning: Clean the hook with a dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, which could damage the finish or the mechanism.
  • Storage: Store the hook in a dry, clean environment away from corrosive substances and extreme temperatures.
  • Overload: Never exceed the stated Safe Working Load (SWL) of 6.7 Tonne. Overloading can cause catastrophic failure.
  • Lubrication: While not explicitly stated, keeping the spring-loaded latch mechanism clean and free from debris can ensure smooth operation. Light lubrication may be considered if the spring action becomes stiff, using a suitable industrial lubricant.
