3.2.6a Hook Operation
Front on Hook Engagement
Side on Hook Engagement
Removing a hook is a two-stage process-
1. Lift the handles to take load off the hook
2. Guide the hook back out of the lifting eye by laterally
manipulating the handles
Hook naturally springs back to
this position to enable convenient
entry and exit from lifting eye
When the hook is loaded it
straightens allowing the load to sit
in the deepest part of the hook.
The hook rotates through 360° so
it can lift side on as well as front
on as illustrated above
•
Hook operation is designed to enable one man hook engagement and disengagement in a
fixed lifting point.
•
For flexible lift point such as a sling, second person may be required to engage or
disengage the hook from the sling
•
Second person should stay clear of the lift operator by 4m while load is not supported by
ground or elevated platform
