Description
Fit structural plates with Atlas Lifting and Rigging ALH ship-hook control when marine or fabrication work demands a 1-1/2-ton capacity and 15-foot chain. Boilermakers and industrial riggers gain point-loading flexibility during hull alignment, beam fit-up, and equipment positioning, but does the ship hook actually match the opening or edge being loaded? Its blunt-tip ship hook, steel housing, zinc-coated components, sintered brake, and overload protection support specialized manual rigging.
Model ALH-016-15-OP-SH lists a 3,500-lb maximum load, 15-foot lift, 27.72-lb assembled weight, 6-inch depth, 5-inch width, 13-inch height, orange steel construction, and ASTM B30.21 compliance. The product includes quick-adjust free-spool operation, welded stay bolts, high-strength side plates, zinc-coated components, and a sintered brake system. Atlas describes the blunt-tip ship hook for point loading and reduced hook stretching.
Features of Atlas Ship Hook
Shipyards, bridge fabrication shops, structural steel contractors, and heavy maintenance crews need a lever hoist for irregular or oversized connection points. Trained operators can use this OP-SH configuration after confirming hook contact, connection strength, load direction, chain alignment, and working load limit.
- 1-1/2-ton capacity supports compatible marine and structural alignment tasks.
- 3,500-lb maximum load is listed for compatible industrial applications.
- 15-foot chain length reaches fabrication fixtures and elevated connection points.
- Blunt-tip ship hook supports specialized point-loading connections when engineered correctly.
- Quick-adjust free-spool operation helps position chain before tensioning.
- Sintered brake construction supports controlled load holding when the lever stops.
- Zinc-coated components help protect selected surfaces during harsh exposure.
- Overload protection adds a listed control feature for the OP-SH configuration.
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. Do not treat 3,500 lbs as proof load or breaking strength. Point loading, side loading, sharp openings, shock loading, poor hook engagement, and misalignment can concentrate force at the ship hook, chain, and support point.
Rigging Limits Service
The blunt-tip ship hook, 15-foot chain, manual lever, free-spool adjustment, sintered brake, zinc-coated components, and overload protection support structural alignment and point-loading work. This hoist is not verified for personnel lifting, unapproved beam openings, side-loaded hooks, shock loading, or operation above the marked capacity.
- Inspect the ship hook tip, throat, latch area, and chain for wear, cracks, deformation, or corrosion.
- Check brake parts, side plates, stay bolts, free-spool control, and connection geometry.
- Remove the hoist after severe point loading or any abnormal hook movement.
Warranty Compliance Contents
The product listing states a 3-Year Limited Warranty and ASTM B30.21 compliance. Package contents identify the hoist, while the ship-hook configuration and documentation should be confirmed. Verify current warranty terms, nameplate capacity, operator manual, inspection certificate, 15-foot chain, ship hook, safety latch, and applicable OSHA requirements before commercial service.
