• Pair with compatible G70 chain to simplify inspection routines and reduce wear from misalignment or moving connections.

Installation and safety notes

• Have a qualified welder perform the weld-on installation on a suitably rated member to ensure full load-path integrity.
• Confirm chain diameter compatibility (7.3 mm or 8.0 mm) to maintain a proper, secure fit with the hook.
• Regularly inspect welds, the hook body, and any signs of wear, deformation, or corrosion. Replace or repair if integrity is compromised.
• Avoid loading at angles beyond the design limits to preserve safety and performance.

Care and maintenance tips

• Clean and inspect after each heavy lift or rigging cycle to detect hairline cracks or fatigue early.
• Store in a dry environment when not in use to minimize corrosion risk, and lubricate moving parts as recommended for extended life.
• Document inspections and ensure the weld-on connection remains compliant with project safety requirements and applicable standards.
