Description
Position Atlas Lifting and Rigging ALH marine and structural loads that require extended reach with the listed 1-1/2-ton capacity, 20-foot chain, and ship hook. Experienced riggers and maintenance crews gain controlled tensioning during shipyard fit-up, beam alignment, and elevated equipment work, but can a wide-throat ship hook engage a connection safely without checking its geometry? Its steel housing, alloy chain, ship hook, sintered brake, and zinc-coated components support specialized manual lifting and positioning.
Model ALH-016-20-SH lists a 20-foot lift and approximately 31.46-lb weight in published product data. The ship-hook configuration is intended for irregular or oversized connection points, while the quick-adjust free-spool feature helps position the chain before load application. Published listings differ on pound capacity, with figures around 3,000 to 3,300 lbs, so confirm the current nameplate and manufacturer documentation before lifting.
Features of Atlas Ship Hook
Marine repair, structural steel fabrication, equipment alignment, and field maintenance require a compact lever hoist that reaches elevated or irregular anchoring points. Trained riggers can use this 1-1/2-ton ship-hook hoist when the hook opening, load direction, anchor strength, and verified working load limit are evaluated.
- 1-1/2-ton listed capacity supports compatible structural, marine, and maintenance positioning work.
- 20-foot chain length reaches elevated beam connections and deep rigging locations.
- Ship hook design supports irregular or oversized attachment points when properly engaged.
- Quick-adjust free-spool operation helps position chain before applying manual tension.
- All-steel construction supports the lever-hoist body in demanding field conditions.
- Sintered brake construction supports controlled holding and lowering under documented conditions.
- Zinc-coated components help protect selected surfaces during harsh industrial exposure.
- Welded stay bolts and high-strength side plates reinforce the compact housing.
Load Test Hook Control
No independent proof-load result, ship-hook deformation test, brake-holding measurement, chain elongation test, handle-force value, or field telemetry was supplied. Published capacity figures vary, so do not treat any pound value as a proof load or breaking strength. Point loading, side loading, shock loading, corrosion, poor hook engagement, and sharp structural openings can concentrate force at the hook and chain.
Rigging Limits Service
The 20-foot chain, ship hook, manual lever, free-spool adjustment, sintered brake, and steel housing support marine, structural, and industrial load positioning. This lever hoist is not verified for personnel lifting, unapproved connection points, side-loaded hooks, shock loading, or operation above the current marked capacity.
- Inspect the ship hook throat, tip, latch area, and load chain for wear, cracks, deformation, or corrosion.
- Check brake parts, side plates, stay bolts, free-spool control, and anchor engagement before use.
- Confirm the connection opening supports the hook without tip loading, twisting, or unstable contact.
Warranty Compliance Contents
Published product data states a 3-Year Limited Warranty. Package contents identify the hoist, while ship-hook configuration and documentation should be confirmed. Verify current warranty terms, nameplate capacity, operator manual, inspection certificate, 20-foot chain, ship hook, safety latch, and applicable ASTM or OSHA requirements before commercial service.
