HOOKBLOCK
Description
A 68 metric ton (75 ton) or 36 metric ton (40 ton) hook block
and a 9 metric ton (10 ton) top headache ball are available
for the crane. The hook block utilizes a one-piece pivot block
and the hook is equipped with a safety latch. The hook block
is the quick reeve design.
Maintenance
Periodic Maintenance
It is recommended that the hook block and/or headache ball
be inspected every 50 hours. A complete assembly
inspection should be conducted every quarter or 500 hours
in the area of the hook, hex nut, and threaded areas for
corrosion and proper fit. After assembly of the hook, a liberal
coating of multipurpose grease should be applied to the nut
and threaded area by brush or hand to prevent corrosion.
For hook blocks and other load handling devices not
manufactured by Manitowoc Cranes, Inc.; follow the
manufacturer’s inspection and testing recommendations to
assure an adequate preventative maintenance program is
established.
