Sling hooks
In conditions of constant demand for rigging work, there is always a need for hooks to create an effective sling system. There are countless types of these products. For safe handling of lifting and moving oversized loads, it is important to choose the right design and load capacity of the product.
Description Hooks for slings are a component part of the lifting mechanism. These products are made of alloy steel. They provide gripping during lifts and movements of loads. Load hooks are corrosion-resistant. To achieve this, they are painted with paint resistant to aggressive environmental factors at the manufacturing plant. Before shipment, the manufacturer conducts load tests on the hooks. Each rigging hook undergoes certification.
Technical specifications The hook is a connecting element in the sling system. Rigging hooks are characterized by the following properties:
- Safety margin;
- Load capacity;
- Reliability;
- Ease of use.
The minimum safety margin coefficient for hooks is 4 to 1. Using hooks, loads ranging from 0.5 tons to several hundred tons can be moved. The simplicity of the design of rigging hooks ensures their reliability.
Technical specifications In the entire variety, several types of hooks are distinguished:
- Hook with an ear;
- Swivel hook;
- Limiting hook;
- Self-locking hook;
- Choker hook.
Hook with an ear Such products are used in the system of wire rope slings. The hook with an ear performs the role of a grip. The safety margin is 5. The load capacity of such hooks ranges from 0.75 tons to 22 tons.
The hook with an ear can be additionally equipped with a latch. In this case, the safety margin coefficient is slightly reduced. Now it equals 4. And the weight of the load that a sling with such a hook at the end can lift increases to 31.5 tons.
Limiting hook Similar products are needed to reduce branches of chain slings. The load capacity of limiting hooks ranges from 1.12 tons to 21.2 tons. The safety margin coefficient is 4.
Swivel hook These are rotating hooks. They are used in creating wire rope or chain slings. They can be additionally equipped with a latch, a bearing. Loads lifted with such end grips can weigh from 1.12 tons to 31.5 tons.
Self-locking hooks Self-locking hooks are used to ensure safety during the lifting and movement of oversized loads. The convenience of using such a hook is undeniable. The safety margin is 4. They are used for lifting loads from 1 ton to 31.5 tons.
Choker hook These hooks are needed for moving loads that have round shapes. The choker hook freely moves along the entire sling, easily gripping the load. The safety margin coefficient is 5. The load capacity reaches 8 tons.
