These Haklift clevis self-locking hooks are designed for the assembly of chain slings and after reading the operating manual
as well as the current national norms for lifting and transporting purposes. Haklift clevis self-locking hooks are to be
combined with other components meeting required norms and directives to build chain slings. The operating manual must
always be available to the user until the hooks are discarded.
Conditions of use:
•
Purpose:
Clevis self-locking hooks serve as an attachment of the chain sling to the load. With clevis attachment
hooks can be attached to the chain in a quick and easy way. The safety catch can be loosened by hand, but the
hook also closes automatically when loaded and will be locked by means of a trigger located on the back of the
hook. The trigger needs to be pressed in order to open the hook.
•
Load:
The load must only be applied in the longitudinal direction and on the center of the radius on the hook.
Hook shall be aligned 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 impact 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, and 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.
•
Always
ensure that the safety catch is completely closed and locked when load is applied. The safety catch must
not be loaded during the lifting process (attention when building loops).
•
Storage:
Product shall be stored cleaned, dried, protected from corrosion.
Assembly instructions:
The assembly may only be executed by a qualified person. Haklift clevis self-locking hooks are attached with a clevis
connection to the chain by means of a bolt and a safety pin (see picture below). Carefully ensure that the safety pin is
completely attached in order to secure the bolt to the correct position. 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 80 components shall be cleaned regularly, dried when in contact with wet
atmospheres and protected from corrosion.
•
Inspections:
The product including its bolts and safety pins need to 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 conditions of use.
•
Withdrawal:
o
Broken parts, deformation, notches, cracks of all types;
o
Signs of “opening out” of hooks, i.e. any noticeable increase in the throat openings or any other form of
distortion in the product;
