Description
Connect irregular steel openings with Atlas Lifting and Rigging ALH ship-hook control when a 3.2-ton capacity and 20-foot chain fit marine and structural work. Experienced boilermakers and riggers gain point-loading flexibility during hull alignment, beam fit-up, and equipment positioning, but will the hook throat match the opening without twisting or side loading? Its steel housing, blunt-tip ship hook, zinc-coated components, sintered brake, and high-strength side plates support specialized manual rigging.
Model ALH-032-20-SH lists a 7,000-lb maximum load, 20-foot lift, 61.16-lb assembled weight, 8-inch depth, 6.5-inch width, and 20.5-inch height. The product includes a ship hook, quick-adjust free-spool operation, welded stay bolts, zinc-coated components, blue grease, ASTM B30.21 compliance, and a 3-Year Limited Warranty. The ship hook is described as blunt-tip hardware for point loading.
Features of Atlas Ship Hook
Shipyards, bridge fabrication shops, structural steel contractors, and heavy maintenance crews need a lever hoist for non-standard connection points. Trained operators can use this ship-hook configuration after evaluating the hook opening, contact surface, anchor strength, chain path, and load direction.
- 3.2-ton capacity supports compatible marine and structural alignment tasks.
- 7,000-lb maximum load is listed for compatible applications.
- 20-foot chain length reaches elevated fabrication points.
- Blunt-tip ship hook supports engineered point-loading connections.
- Quick-adjust free-spool operation helps position chain before applying tension.
- Sintered brake construction supports controlled load holding.
- Zinc-coated components help protect selected surfaces during harsh exposure.
- High-strength side plates reinforce the all-steel lever-hoist body.
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 proof load or breaking strength. Point loading, side loading, sharp openings, shock loading, poor hook engagement, and misalignment can concentrate force at the hook, chain, and support structure.
Rigging Limits Service
The blunt-tip ship hook, 20-foot chain, manual lever, free-spool adjustment, sintered brake, and steel housing support structural alignment. This hoist is not verified for personnel lifting, unapproved connection points, side-loaded hooks, shock loading, or suspended loads over people.
- Inspect the ship hook tip, throat, latch area, and chain for wear, cracks, and deformation.
- Check brake parts, side plates, stay bolts, free-spool control, and hook engagement.
- Remove the unit after severe point loading or 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. Verify current warranty terms, nameplate capacity, operator manual, inspection certificate, 20-foot chain, ship hook, safety latch, and applicable OSHA requirements before commercial service.
