Description
Align Atlas Lifting and Rigging ALH structural plates and machinery components with the listed 3.2-ton capacity, 10-foot chain, and ship hook. Experienced millwrights, boilermakers, and fabrication riggers gain point-loading control during steel fit-up, hull work, and equipment alignment, but can a ship hook be used on any beam or plate opening? Its all-steel construction, blunt-tip ship hook, sintered brake, and zinc-coated components support specialized manual pulling and positioning.
Model ALH-032-10-SH lists a 7,000-lb capacity, 10-foot lift, 45.98-lb assembled weight, 8-inch depth, 6.5-inch width, 20.5-inch height, orange steel construction, and ASTM B30.21 compliance. The ship hook uses a blunt tip intended for point loading, while the quick-adjust free-spool feature helps position the chain before tensioning. Confirm the hook’s approved connection geometry before applying load to a plate, beam, or structural opening.
Features of Atlas Ship Hook
Shipyards, bridge fabrication shops, structural steel contractors, and heavy maintenance crews need a lever hoist that can connect to irregular point-loading locations. Trained riggers can use this ALH ship-hook configuration when the hook throat, connection opening, load direction, and capacity are evaluated before pulling.
- 3.2-ton capacity supports compatible plate alignment, machinery positioning, and structural steel pulling.
- 7,000-lb maximum load is listed for compatible industrial applications.
- 10-foot chain length reaches fabrication fixtures, beam joints, and equipment connection points.
- Blunt-tip ship hook supports specialized point-loading connections when properly engineered.
- Quick-adjust free-spool operation helps position chain before applying manual tension.
- Sintered brake construction supports controlled holding when the lever stops.
- Zinc-coated components help protect selected surfaces during harsh industrial exposure.
- Welded stay bolts and high-strength side plates reinforce the all-steel 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. Do not treat 7,000 lbs as a proof load or breaking strength. Point loading, side loading, sharp openings, poor hook engagement, shock loading, and misalignment can concentrate force at the ship hook and chain. Stop operation if the hook tip or throat shows deformation.
Rigging Limits Service
The blunt-tip ship hook, 10-foot chain, manual lever, free-spool adjustment, sintered brake, and steel housing support specialized structural alignment and point-loading work. This lever 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 load chain for deformation, cracks, wear, or corrosion.
- Check brake parts, side plates, stay bolts, free-spool control, and connection geometry before use.
- Remove the hoist from service 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 ship-hook configuration and documentation should be confirmed. Verify current warranty terms, nameplate capacity, operator manual, inspection certificate, 10-foot chain, blunt-tip ship hook, and applicable OSHA requirements before commercial service.
