LIFTING HOOK:
The lifting hook is designed for general lifting and lowering of the device, such as for removal from shipping pallets or
for lifting onto and off work tables. The lifting hook is not designed to be used for insertion or removal of the circuit
breaker from the switchgear compartment, instead, use the appropriate optional lift truck.
CAUTION
• Always follow safe work practices when lifting the circuit
breakers to protect the safety of personnel and equipment.
• Always inspect lifting hook for signs of wear or damage before
use.
• Do not use a lifting hook that is damaged or worn.
• The lifting device (i.e. hoist, wench) should be suitably rated
for lifting the breaker load.
• Always refer to Fig X below for the proper installation of the
lifting hook.
• The lifting hook IS NOT to be used for insertion of drawout
circuit breakers into switchgear compartments.
There are two types of lifting hooks available;
1) Chain - The chain type lifting hook is designed to attach to the breaker in the long oval holes on each side of the
frame (see detail below). This lifting hook is more compact and easier to store than the metal frame style.
2) Metal frame - The metal frame lifting hook is designed to attach to the breaker in the long oval holes on each side
of the breaker as well as the additional mounting point on each side of the breaker as shown below. This lifting hook
provides for more level transfer of the breaker but it less compact than the chain style.
Chain hook:
Attach one lifting hook to each
side of breaker .
Metal Frame:
