CHAIN CONTAINER
This accessory is used to hold the slack chain and is sup-
plied complete with mounting hardware and instruc-
tions. The chain container is recommended for those
applications where the slack chain will interfere with
the load or drag on the floor as may be the case with
double and triple reeved units. Chain containers are
shipped separately and can be furnished for units
already in use.

LATCHLOK® HOOKS
Latchlok hooks are available to replace the standard
upper or lower latch type hooks (2-6 ton only). The
unique design of the Latchlok hook assures that it will
stay locked until the operator releases it by depressing
the release button. It will not open accidentally—even if the
load chain goes slack. Once opened, it can be shut with
one hand or the weight of the load when it is lifted.
Latchlok hooks can be supplied with the hoist or can be
provided in kit form for hoists already in service.

If a swivel type hook is required, use a 1/4 inch
(6.4 mm) drift, and working through the hole
in the side of the suspension adapter, drive the
hook nut pin into the nut so that it is flush
with the side of the nut. Discard the loose pin
packed with the suspension.
