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.

NOTE: SLINGS ARE NOT RECOMENDED FOR USE WITH AUTO-LIFTING HOOK
1. When the GIGASENSE IS Hook is engaged, the load tension closes the hook and the safety latch is
automatically locked.
2. The hook remains safety locked even if it is unloaded. It is therefore possible to safely set down the load and
make sling adjustments.
3. To release the safety lock after completed lifting operation, the hook is lowered until the upper link has tilted
approximately 60° in relation to the housing.
4. When the lock is released, the hook swings up into an open starting position.
5. The load is released, and the hook is ready for a new lifting operation.
