It’s a bit nit picky, but if hooks are facing in with a low angle and max load… you’re more so point loading the hook as gravity pulls down and towards the tip of the hook. Rather than down and towards the back of the hook if the hooks are facing out (upward direction). Either way it should be rated to for either? However, I think this is where the thought comes from for having the hooks facing out.
@@wadestewart5504 i find it fouls more and gets tangled more hooks facing out, if a riggers there it shouldnt foul, if the shackle or point of loading is in the meat on the hook when weights applied i see no logical reason why thats wrong. Im not being a dick either just give me a logical reason. When choking scaffold and stuff of course hooks facing out but on a four point lift with no angle i personally dont see a problem
Well said brother! Pet hate, is hooks facing out when you’re doing out rigger matts. What a f**k about when the latch is facing into the Matt. Ah ye ye
I had this issue today 21 ton lift Boys say In 🤨 I say out Lifting a container in offshore environment In this situation the angle of the chains to the four points left considerably more meat on the hooks when facing out 1. Always best under heavy loads to practice hooks faceing out. 2…Also as hooks become older and worn the gates are the weakest points therefore again Hooks 🪝 out for me 3… Also why this is practised HOOKS OUT is not all hooks will have a gate / enclosed…. 🪝 can proof to be deadly 💀 if slips or comes off tension. 4. Many hooks are not as a good quality as the ones you have in the video. Many have old style latch’s and are not strong at all. HOOKS OUT FOR ME 99% OF THE TIME Thanks for the info … interesting topic
