When hoisting the Concrete Kibble by a crane, ensure the Crane Lifting Hook is correctly
fitted to the Lifting Bar and is free to slide within the Lifting Eye at the top of the Lifting
Bar when hoisted.
Fig. 3.2 (type CKM10 shown)
If a single fall rope is used to hoist the Concrete Kibble, the hook may spin and create a
dangerous situation. Do not allow the crane hook to rest on or inside the Concrete Kibble.
Keep the Kibble in an upright position at all times.
