PH3500SB High-Capacity Self-Balancing Pipe Lifting Hook
Using the PH3500SB self-balancing pipe lifting hook is straightforward. First, make sure the machine you're using has the capacity to lift up to 3,500 pounds. Attach the hook to the machine using a shackle/sling assembly like the Kenco RigMax. Then, position the hook over the 8-foot pipe section with an ID between 10 and 36 inches. The built-in cylinder will automatically adjust to the pipe's weight and find the balance point. You can then safely lift, move, and set the pipe. When using the hook, always check the weight of the pipe to ensure it's within the 3,500-pound capacity. Avoid overloading the hook as it can be dangerous. After each use, clean the hook to remove any dirt or debris. Periodically check the cylinder and other components for wear and tear. If you notice any issues, have it inspected by a professional before using it again.
