This step only applies if a suspension hook is used instead of a suspension bracket or if a safety load hook is used instead of a normal load hook.
|
Safety load hooks (left) and suspension hooks (right) are tested according to the same procedure.
Measure the base height ‘H’ of
the suspension hook or safety load hook.
Measure the gap ‘A’ between the
hook safety latch and the hook body.
Measure the lateral displacement
‘B’ between the hook safety latch and the hook body.
The measured values should
neither exceed nor fall short of the values in the table.

If the load hook has been
widened to a greater degree than is allowed or if the base height is below the
permissible limit, replace the load hook.
