Hooks are designed for use on telehandlers extendible reach
forklifts) and straight mast forklifts as well. Their design has been
reviewed and carries an engineer’s stamp of approval to meet a
3 to 1 or better factor of safety.
The design of the attachment positions the swivel hook at the
standard 24” load center typically found on most forklifts up to
30,000 lb capacity. Because the lifting point is located at the 24”
load center, the forklift’s standard load chart will normally apply.
It is only necessary to include the weight of the attachment itself
and rigging along with the weight of the load. A separate load
chart or de-rating of the forklift should not be required.
Be aware that the rated capacity of the Lift Hook itself does not
or boom position.

1. Risks are high for serious injury or death when working
around suspended loads. The operator must avoid carrying
the load over people and when loads are suspended all non
essential personnel must remain clear of the “fall zone” (the
area in which it is reasonably foreseeable that suspended
material could fall in the event of an accident.) No personnel
should ever be directly under the load.
2. Do not allow anyone to ride on the lift hook nor on the load
being carried.

Installation:
The Universal-Fit Lift Hook is installed on the forklift by inserting
both forks fully into the fork pockets so that the rear of the Lift
Hook is against the back of the fork. The fork retaining pins are
then installed through the retaining plates and behind the heel
of the forks and are secured with hair pins. This locks the Lift
chain with locking grab hook must also be used.
Stop Pin on some

removable
Stop Pin must be in
lower hole with using

Safety chain(s) must also be used. Wrap chain around a strong part of
the fork carriage and secure with locking grab hook.
Rated Capacities:
the Lift Hook decal. Be aware that these capacities are for the
for capacity ratings and any limitations or restrictions when
using this type of attachment. Remember the weight of the Lift
Hook and all load suspension rigging must be included with the
weight of the load to determine total weight being lifted. If there
is any question as to the forklift’s lifting capacities when using
In addition, never exceed the rated capacities of the Lift Hook
except for purpose of a test and then do not exceed 125% of its
rated capacity. Never exceed the capacity of the forklift. Make
sure also that the load rating for slings, chains, or straps used
with the Lift Hook are equal to or exceed the rating of both the
forklift and Lift Hook, if not; always limit the load to the lowest
rated part of the lifting system.
The swivel hook is located 24” from the back of the Lift Hook
frame. This puts the hook at the same location at which most
forklifts are rated – 24” load center. This means that the standard
forklift load charts are applicable. Just remember to include the
weight of the lift hook. and the weight of the rigging in with the
weight of the load. Please keep aware that forklift rated load
elevated the rated lift capacity will frequently be decreased
and likewise on extendable reach forklifts when the boom is
extended the rated capacity will be decreased.
Use:
When using the Lift Hook the forklift forks must remain level
or the tips tilted slightly upward. The Lift Hook is designed for
vertical lift only and must not be used to pull a load. When lifting
a load, the area below the lift should be clear of personnel. All
personnel must maintain a safe distance away from danger
area should a failure occur.

Safety Precautions:
Before elevating the load, make sure the forklift
mast or boom is level (vertical) - not leaning to
the right or left. Do not use the Lift Hook when
operating on a side slope.
Before the load is raised make sure slings,
chains, or straps are properly secured and are
not twisted around each other or entangled.
The load must be picked up so that it is equally
balanced and hangs level.
When lifting a load, guard against shock loading
by taking up the slack in slings or straps slowly.
Prevent jerking at the beginning of the lift, and
accelerate or decelerate slowly.
Do not use the Lift Hook to drag or pull a load.
Do not leave suspended loads unattended.
Take care that the load does not swing or come
in contact with an obstruction.
Keep all personnel clear while the load is being
raised, moved, or lowered. Forklift operator
should be watchful of the load at all times,
especially when it is in motion.
Never allow more than one person to give
signals to the forklift operator except to warn of a
hazardous situation.
Never raise or carry the load higher than
necessary.
Never allow anyone to work under a suspended
load.
Never exceed rated capacity of any part of the
lifting system.
Never allow anyone to ride on Lift Hook or on the
load being carried.
Forklift operator must be properly trained and
Before using the Lift Hook check to see that it
is properly secured to the forklift as described in
the installation section and that the shackle and
hook are properly secured and screw pins are
tight.
Determine that the loads to be handled are within
the capabilities of the forklift. Keep in mind that
rated capacities will likely decrease when the
boom is in a raised position, or when the mast
is tilted forward, or in the case of telehandlers,
when the boom is extended.
Forks should be level or tipped upward (never
down below level) when using the Lift Hook.
Do not pull loads – it is designed for vertical lift
only.
The load should always be carried low and kept
from swinging using tag lines as necessary. Any
time a load is raised, extreme caution should be
exercised as the forklift is far more vulnerable to
tipping with a raised load.
Any time the load is raised make sure the forklift
Refer to the forklift operator’s manual for more
information on handling elevated loads as well as
information for safe and proper forklift operation.
Always comply with all local, state, and federal
Safety regulations.
