Description
Secure marine loads with Atlas Lifting and Rigging ALH ship-hook control when a 3.2-ton capacity and 20-foot chain suit structural fit-up. Experienced riggers gain point-loading flexibility during shipyard maintenance, steel fabrication, and machinery alignment, but can the blunt-tip hook engage an irregular opening without concentrating force at the throat? Its all-steel construction, zinc-coated components, sintered brake, high-strength side plates, and overload protection support specialized manual lifting within verified limits.
Model ALH-032-20-OP-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. Atlas identifies a blunt-tip ship hook for point loading, quick-adjust free-spool operation, welded stay bolts, blue grease, ASTM B30.21 compliance, and a 3-Year Limited Warranty. The current hook geometry and nameplate should control connection selection.
Features of Atlas Ship Hook
Shipyards, bridge fabrication shops, structural contractors, and heavy maintenance crews need a lever hoist for irregular or oversized attachment points. Trained operators can use this OP-SH configuration after checking hook contact, connection strength, chain direction, load balance, and working load limit.
- 3.2-ton capacity supports compatible marine and structural alignment work.
- 7,000-lb maximum load is listed for compatible industrial applications.
- 20-foot chain length reaches elevated beams and deep fabrication locations.
- Blunt-tip ship hook supports engineered point-loading connections.
- Overload protection adds a listed control feature.
- Sintered brake construction supports controlled load holding.
- Zinc-coated components help protect selected surfaces during harsh exposure.
- High-strength side plates and welded stay bolts reinforce the 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 ship hook, chain, and support point.
Rigging Limits Service
The blunt-tip ship hook, 20-foot chain, manual lever, free-spool adjustment, sintered brake, and overload protection support specialized structural alignment. This hoist is not verified for personnel lifting, unapproved beam openings, side-loaded hooks, shock loading, or suspended loads over people.
- Inspect ship-hook tip, throat, latch area, and chain for wear, cracks, deformation, and corrosion.
- Check brake parts, side plates, stay bolts, free-spool control, and connection geometry.
- Remove the hoist 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.
