Hooks
Always keep the hook clean. Use a cloth to wipe away any
dirt.
Before every shift:
• Do an inspection of the general conditions of the Hook
(1) for deformation (stretched, cracked, twisted,
excessive wear…) and surface damages with significant
depth (such as from chemicals or heat).
• Do an inspection of the Clevis/Link Shaft (3) for damage/
deformation.
• Do an inspection of the two Spring/Roll pins (8) and (9)
that are in place and properly retaining the central hook
nut (6).

The two Spring/Roll pins (8) and (9) should be in place and nearly flush with the outer edge of the
hook nut (6) on both sides. (See the pictures Side 1 and Side 2).

opening.
• Do an inspection of the Clevis/Link Shaft (3), Clevis/Links Shaft nut (7) and Cotter/Safety pin (4)
are in place.
• Do an inspection of the Plane bearing/Washer (5) or the Swivel (10) that is in good conditions.

washers, nuts, pins…
