These Haklift eye grab hooks are designed for assembly of lifting chain slings and to be used for lifting
purposes as part of a lifting tool. Read the instruction manual as well as the relevant valid national norms for
operating before using the product. Haklift eye grab hooks are to be combined with other components meeting
required norms and directives to build chain slings. The instruction manual must always be available to the
user until the hook is discarded.
Conditions of use:
•
Purpose:
Eye grab hooks serve as shortening hooks (used for shortening of chain legs) for lifting
chains of the same nominal size and they can also be used for building loops (that must not tighten)
for choke hitch. A chain link of the same nominal size is hooked into the slot of the hook.
•
Load:
The loading of the hook must only act in the longitudinal direction through the chain (of the
same nominal size) hooked in the slot of the hook. The hook must be free to align in the direction of
the load. Maximum working load limit stated in the product markings shall not be exceeded.
•
Admissible operating temperature:
-40°C to 200°C (201°C - 300°C 90% of the WLL; 301°C - 400°C
75% of the WLL; over 400°C not permitted).
•
Impacts:
The load must be applied without any impacts, sway or shock loading.
•
To be used and assembled only by competent personnel.
•
To be inspected before each use for visible signs of damage.
•
DON’T
use with food, cosmetics or pharmaceutical products. The product must not be subjected to
severe corrosive influences (e.g. acids).
•
DON’T
use in explosion-protected areas.
•
DON’T
apply any surface coating procedure with damaging effects on the materials and do not subject
the product to heat, welding or drilling processes.
•
Storage:
Product shall be stored cleaned, dried, protected from corrosion.
Assembly instructions:
Assembly may only be executed by a qualified person. Haklift grade 100 chain sling components are intended
to be combined with components/chains of the same nominal size and grade. Eye grab hook is attached from
the eye of the hook to the chain or master link by means of a suitable connecting link. The lifting accessory
into which the component is to be attached must be declared in the conformity with the provisions of the
Directive 2006/42/EC.
Maintenance, inspections and repairs:
•
Maintenance:
Haklift grade 100 components shall be cleaned regularly, dried when in contact with
wet atmospheres and protected from corrosion.

Inspections:
The product shall be inspected in clean condition. The product must be checked before
each use for visible signs of damage. Once a year an inspection must be carried out by a competent
person. However, this period must also be shortened in view of the conditions of use.
•
Withdrawal:
o
Broken parts, deformation, notches, cracks of all types;
o
Signs of “opening out” of the hook, i.e. any noticeable increase in the throat opening or any
other form of distortion in the product;
o
Signs of heat;
o
In the case of doubts about the safety and correct functioning;
o
Unrecognizable identification marking;
o
If wear or excessive corrosion occurs.
