Company Information Gigasense products within Force Measurement and Crane Safety are well known high quality products,built from many years' experience and used by leading heavy duty industry around the world. Gigasense products meet the highest demands of performance level requirements.Weare represented by many selected local partners in more than 30 countries on six continents. Automatically hooks up,safety locks and releases. The risk for injury is dramatically reduced. No climbing or helpers injured or squeezed by the load in the dangerous loading or drop zone.
NewConcept Saves Time and Increases Safety Lifting operations with mobile cranesand industrial hoists can safely be managed by the operator alone. He can remain at the controls during lifting and release operation. HOOK UP Lifting eye. Do not use slingor rope. LIFT When the hook is engaged, the load tension automatically safetylocks the hook and housing assembly. LOWER After completed lifting operationthe hook is lowered until it tilts into release position and opens. RELEASE The hook automatically frees itselffrom the load and is ready for the next lifting operation. Do not force it open with any tools! APPLICATIONS Blasting mats, pipes, pumps, machines, gas bottles, big bags and general lifting. The Automatic Hook is available in 5 sizes from 2 to 20 tons. It is easy to operate, has rugged design and a high reliability.
The Automatic Hook consists of hook, housing and link. Forged hook, housing and link are of high-grade alloy steel. Unloaded, the spring loaded hook is pulled up against the housing in an open, ready-to-load position where it can easily be hooked onto a lifting eye or other attached hardware.
When the Automatic Hook is engaged,the load tension closes the hook opening, and the safety latch is automaticallylocked.
The hook remains safety lockedeven if it is unloaded. It is therefore possibleto safely set down the load and makeadjustments.
Torelease the safety lock after completedliftning operation, the hook is lowered until the upper link has tilted approx. 60° in relation to the housing. When the lock is released, the hook swings up into an open starting position.
The load is released, and the hook is ready for a new lifting operation. The Automatic Hook is tested and approved by the Swedish Institute for Materials Testing.
Transport case is optional.
