Safety Requirements
These are general guidelines, all personnel involved should adhere to the safety requirements of the particular
location at which they are performing their operations.
Dhatec recommends wearing of suitable PPE while handling their products. This includes gloves, safety shoes,
safety glasses, safety helmet, hearing protection and suitable work clothing.
The working areas should be kept tidy at all times in order to minimize the risk of trips and slips.
All personnel involved should use suitable manual handling techniques and follow industry recommended
guidelines for lifting and moving, such as those described in “Ergonomic Guidelines for Manual Material Handling”
published by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (Publication 2007-131), or those otherwise
prescribed by the client.
The Pipe Hooks are exclusively for horizontal lifting and transporting of pipes. The Pipe Hooks can only be used in
pairs while using a two-leg sling or spreader beam. All the Pipe Hooks and Shackles supplied by Dhatec, are
provided with a unique registration mark. Never use a Pipe Hook or Shackle without these registration marks or
when there is no valid test certificate available.

The Main Shackle (figure 3) is used to connect the Premium

General instructions for lifting with Dhatec Pipe Hooks
-Before lifting check if the working load limit of the Pipe Hook and main Shackle is sufficient for the weight of
the pipe. The Pipe Hook Standard comes with a shackle pin whereas Pipe Hook Premium is to be used
together with a main shackle provided by Dhatec.
-Remove grease and dirt from the Pipe Hook and Shackle so the equipment can be checked properly.
-Check visually if the Pipe Hook or shackle is damaged, cracks or deformation (which is indicative of overload).
In case of any doubts, please contact Dhatec before using the equipment.
-Inspect the plastic parts of the Pipe Hook for wear and defects (the plastic parts must be free of contamination,
dry and undamaged). The plastic parts must be replaced when the wear and tear or damages exceeds 10mm.
-Each type of Pipe Hook has its specific lifting angle. Below you can find the required lifting angles for the Pipe
Hook Standard and Pipe Hook Premium.
-Connect the Pipe Hook to the lifting equipment (make sure all attachment devices are approved and certified
for the corresponding tonnage).
-Place the Pipe Hook as deep as possible in the pipe, until it sits firmly in the back end of the jaws. Make sure
that the hook is positioned in such a way as to balance the load when it is being lifted.
-Lift steadily to allow effective gripping by the Pipe Hooks.
-Make sure the load is stably positioned before the Pipe Hooks are removed.
Pay attention to your own safety and to that of people around you!
Keep a safe distance during lifting operations and never walk or stand under a lifted load.

-The Pipe Hook should be
leveled in the pipe end.
-The horizontal part must
be in full contact with the
internal surface of the
pipe.
-There should be no
distance between the
pipe and vertical part of
the Pipe Hook.
