Different hooks and shackles are provided for some crane models. Depending on the load, the
relevant PALFINGER hook and shackle with bolt must be used on the associated lifting gear
.

Observe the load capacity given on the load lifting gear.
•
The safety latch of the hook must close by means of spring pressure after the load has been
