- Hoist hooks incorporate markings forges
into the product which address two (2) QUIC-CHECK features.
- Deformation Indicators -- Two strategically
placed marks, one just below the shank or eye and the other on the hook up,
which allows for a QUIC-CHECK measurement to
determine if the throat opening has changed, thus indicating abuse or overload.
- To check, use a measuring
device (i.e. tape measure) to measure the distance between the marks. The
marks should align to either an inch or half-inch increment on the measuring
device. If the measurement does not meet this criteria, the hook should
be inspected further for possible damage.
|
- Angle Indicators -- Indicates
the maximum included angle which is allow between two (2) sling legs in the
hook. These indicators also provide the opportunity to approximate other
included angles between two sling legs.
