The Secrets of Lifting Accessories (Part 1) | Locking Hooks and Anti-Disengagement Devices

Hello, everyone.

This is Enta.

Regarding the greening spacers we announced the other day,

We have been receiving inquiries from various sources.

Thank you.

I hope to contribute, even in a small way, to the contractors’ creativity and efforts to improve quality.

I actually look forward to traveling to the areas where people who've contacted me live, lol.

"Oh, I wonder if anyone will come from Hokkaido... or maybe from Yamagata... or Okinawa would be nice, too..." and so on

As for the night... *grins* lol

Introducing the Greenery Spacer


But that's beside the point.

 

We have some heavy-duty hooks that we use in our company's warehouse.

Regarding the hooks used for slinging,

↑Rocking Hook (with Swivel)↑

↑Heavy-Duty Hook (Chain)↑

↑Heavy-Duty Hook (No Lock)↑

 

This is pretty typical, isn't it?

So, oftenHooks without safety catches are prohibited on the job site.Right?

Well, it would be dangerous if it came loose, and it’s hard to use without a lock to keep it from coming off.

However, there are types without a safety lock available for purchase.

I wondered, "Why is that?" and looked it up, and...

Even for models without a safety lock, there is no legal obligation regarding their use.That's right.

And that's exactly why it's cheaper—because it doesn't have those features.

That's why we've established a rule prohibiting its use on-site.

For safety reasons, we recommend using hooks with a safety latch, even if they cost a little more.

 

We're gradually replacing our items with sturdier ones, too.

Standardized Using JIS-Compliant ProductsThat's it.

However, since this locking hook (swivel) is extremely expensive, be careful not to have it stolen.
When I placed an order with the hardware store I usually shop at,
When I placed an order saying, “I want the genuine JIS-compliant product,” this locking hook came with it, but,
I was totally surprised when the bill came lol
I promised to make sure I specify the product name and specifications clearly when placing orders lol

AlwaysWhat if...I want to keep this in mind as I manage safety.

 

See you later.
