Instructions / Warnings
Read carefully, understand, and heed these and all included cautions, instructions and warnings before using
this equipment. Failure to do so could result in your serious injury or death.
The Buck Hook™ is a safety device used to provide a temporary
,
portable anchorage point
of a fall protection system to
structure from ground to elevated heights back to ground. The system can be used in conjunction with a rope lifeline
(7/16” min) and compatible rope grab or a retractable lanyard. The Buck Hook™ is to be connected to a standard
fiberglass stick with universal head.
The configuration of the Buck Hook™ will fit around a 5 7/8” x 5 7/8”
section of angle steel (see Fig. 1). When installed, the major axis position
of the Buck Hook™ shall be aligned 45
°
from vertical.
Buckingham’s Buck Hook™ System allows the user to ascend and
descend the structure while remaining 100% fall protected.
To properly assemble the Buck Hook™ System requires either option 1 (Fig. 2) or option 2 (Fig. 16)
components.
Note: Hardware and components, although BMC supplied is recommended, may differ from
that shown in Fig. 2 and Fig. 16.
