  to Shackles & Hooks Main Page
 
     
These hooks are a positioning device and are not intended to rotate under load. Remember, NEVER let a sling rotate under load unless you use NON-ROTATING UNI-LOC® wire rope slings.

All UNI-LOC® wire rope slings equipped with Swivel Hoist Hooks are supplied with Standard Stainless Steel Latch Kits.
     
Deformation Indicators – Two strategically placed marks, one just below the eye and the other at the hook tip. This allows for a QUIC-CHECK® measurement to determine if the throat opening has changed, thus indicating abuse or overloading.

To check, just measure the distance between the marks. That distance always is an increment of either 1/2" or 1"; you don't need a special dimension table to perform this inspection.
Angle Indicators – Indicate the maximum included angle of 90° (45° Vertical) which is allowed between two slings in the hook.
