The PH9000 Heavy - Duty Mechanical Pipe Lifting Hook offers a safe and highly efficient solution for placing, moving, and setting 8 - foot pipe sections. With a 9,000 - pound capacity, it can handle any shape of pipe with an inner diameter ranging from 12.00 to 48.00 inches. Weighing only 700 pounds, it's a practical choice. This mechanical hook has a manual slide to adjust the pipe to its proper balance point. It can be hooked up to any machine capable of lifting the required capacity using a shackle/sling assembly, like the Kenco RigMax. Kenco also offers self - balancing versions for pipes up to 9,000 - pound capacities.
Using the PH9000 Mechanical Pipe Hook is easy. First, make sure the machine you're using can handle the 9,000 - pound capacity. Connect the hook to the machine with a shackle/sling assembly, such as the Kenco RigMax. Then, place the hook on the 8 - foot pipe section. Use the manual slide to adjust the pipe to its balance point. When moving the pipe, keep a steady pace. Note that the pipe's weight should be at or under the specified capacity. As for maintenance, regularly check the hook for any signs of wear and tear. Clean it after use to prevent rust and damage. Store it in a dry place when not in use.
