CHECKING THE LOAD HOOK
Measure the opening width 'e' of the load hook.
Measure the base height 'f' of the load hook.
The measured values should neither exceed
nor fall short of the values in the table.
Size of load hook Type of load hook Max. opening width 'e' [mm] Min. base height 'f' [mm] Material
012 single 26.4 18.1 STE 355
025 single 30.8 22.8 STE 355
05 single 37.4 29.9 34 CrMo 4
1 single 44.0 38.0 34 CrMo 4
1.6 single 49.6 45.6 34 CrMo 4
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.
If the load hook is deformed (even if within the
measurements given above): Inspect the
surface for cracks.
CHECKING THE SUSPENSION
BRACKET
Remove the suspension bracket. See
“Installing the chain hoist”, page 16.
Measure the bracket height ‘h’ of the
suspension bracket.
Depending on the bracket height ‘h’, select the
appropriate row in the table.
Measure the bracket thickness ‘g’ of the
suspension bracket.
The measured value ‘g’ must not be below the
value ‘g’ in the table.
