Hook sheaves are used to change direction of the
pulling rope. This manual provides instructions of
rigging hook sheaves and calculating the load on the
sheave anchor point and supporting structures.
This manual should be kept available for operating and
maintenance personnel. For additional copies at no
charge, order IM-1260 (Part Number 999 2092.1).
DANGER

the pull force will not exceed the sheave rating,
or you must stop the pull if the force exceeds the
sheave rating.
• The load on the hook sheave may be twice
that on the rope. Know and understand how to
calculate each hook sheave load for each change
in rope direction.
• Make sure that all anchors, slings and
components of the supporting structure can
withstand the loads applied to them.
Failure to observe these warnings could result
in the hook sheave breaking its mounting and
striking nearby personnel, causing serious
injury or death.

In this example we’ll pull up out of a manhole using the Ultra TuggerTM cable puller. The pull force is unknown so
we’ll assume the maximum rope tension will be 8000 pounds. First, we’ll need to measure some angles.
1. We measure angle θ between the rope legs as 70 degrees.
2. We measure angle A between the extended line of the frame and one anchor line either directly as 35 degrees
or by measuring angle C as 110 degrees and calculating angle A from Formula #2:
A = 180 - 1/2 x θ - C = 180 - 1/2 x 70 - 110 = 35 degrees
3. We measure angle B between the extended line of the frame and the second anchor line either directly as 45
degrees or by measuring angle D as 100 degrees and calculating angle B from Formula #2:
B - 180 - 1/2 x θ - D = 180 - 1/2 x 70 - 100 = 45 degrees
4. Calculate the hook load “R” from Formula #1:
R = 2 x T x sin((180-θ)/2) = 2 x 8000 x sin ((180-70)/20) = 16000 x sin(55) = 13106 pounds
5. Calculate the loads on anchor points 1 and 2 from Formula #3:
R1 = R/{cos(A) + sin(A) / tan(B)} = 13106 / {cos(35) + sin(35) / tan(45)} = 9410 pounds
R2 = R/{cos(B) + sin(B) / tan(A)} = 13106 / {cos(45) + sin(45) / tan(35)} = 7633 pounds
Summary:
Rope Tension: 8,000 lbs.
Load on Hook: 13,106 lbs.
Load on Chain 1 and Anchor 1: 9,410 lbs.
Load on Chain 2 and Anchor 2: 7,633 lbs.

• Loads may disengage from hook if proper procedures are not followed.
• A falling load may cause serious injury or death.
• See OSHA Rule 1926.550(g) for personnel
hoisting by cranes or derricks. A Crosby 319, 320,
or 322 hook with a PL Latch attached (when
secured with the bolt, nut and pin) may be used
for lifting personnel.
• Threads may corrode and/or strip and drop the
load.
• Hook must always support the load. The load
must never be supported by the latch.
• Never apply more force than the hook’s assigned
Working Load Limit (WLL) rating.
• Read and understand these instructions before
using hook.

Important Safety Information - Read and Follow:
• Always visually inspect hook before using.
• Inspect hook and threads with magnetic particle
and/or dye penetrate annually, or more often in
severe operating conditions.
Note: Some Disassembly may be required.
• Never use a hook whose throat opening has been
increased, or whose tip has been bent more than 10
degrees out of plane from the hook body, or is in any
other way distorted or bent.
Note: A latch will not work properly on a hook with a
bent or worn tip.

• Never use a hook that is worn beyond the limits
shown in Figure 1.
• Remove from service any hook with a crack, nick, or
gouge. Hooks with a crack, nick, or gouge shall be
repaired by grinding lengthwise, following the contour
of the hook, provided that the reduced dimension is
within the limits shown in Figure 1.
• Never repair, alter, rework, or reshape a hook by
welding, heating, burning, or bending.

• Never side load, back load, or tip load a hook.
(See Figure 2.)
• Eye hooks, shank hooks and swivel hooks are
designed to be used with wire rope or chain.
Efficiency of assembly may be reduced when used
with synthetic material.
• Do not swivel the S-322 swivel hook while it is
supporting a load.
• The use of a latch may be mandatory by regulations
or safety codes; e.g., OSHA, MSHA, ANSI/ASME
B30, Insurance, etc.
Note: When using latches, see instructions in
“Understanding: The Crosby Group Warnings”
for further information.

Warnings and Application Instructions
• When placing two (2) sling legs in hook, make sure
the angle from the vertical to the outermost leg is not
greater than 45°, and the included angle between the
legs does not exceed 90° (See Figure 5).
• See ANSI/ASME B30.1 0 “Hooks” for additional
information.
*For angles greater than 90°, or more than two (2) legs, a master link
or bolt-type anchor shackle should be used to attach the legs of the
sling to the hook.

Important Safety Information - Read and Follow:
• Always inspect hook and latch before using.
• Never use a latch that is distorted or bent.
• Always make sure spring will force the latch against
the tip of the hook.
• Always make sure hook supports the load. The latch
must never support the load. (See Figures 1 & 2.)
• When placing two (2) sling legs in hook, make sure
the angle between legs is small enough and the legs
are not tilted so that nothing bears against the bottom
of the latch. (See Figures 3 & 4.)
• Latches are intended to retain loose sling or devices
under slack conditions.
• Latches are not intended to be an anti-fouling device.
• Loads may disengage from hook if proper procedures are not followed.
• A falling load may cause serious injury or death.
• See OSHA Rule 1926.550(g) for personnel
hoisting by cranes or derricks. A Crosby or
McKissick hook and this latch (when secured with
the bolt, nut and pin) may be used for lifting
personnel.
• Hook must always support the load. The load
must never be supported by the latch.
• Read and understand these instructions before
using hook.
