Troubleshooting
Hook is difficult to attach to container corner eye.
Ensure the container corner eye is clear of obstructions or damage. Verify the hook is the correct model for standard container eyes and is not bent or deformed. Check that shackles or slings are not obstructing the attachment point.
Hook appears to be worn or damaged.
Immediately remove the hook from service. Do not use it for any lifting operations. Contact the supplier or a qualified professional for inspection and potential replacement.
Yellow coating is chipped or peeling.
Minor cosmetic chipping may not affect structural integrity, but regularly inspect the underlying metal for corrosion or damage. If significant coating loss occurs or if corrosion is present, the hook should be removed from service.
Hook makes unusual noises during lifting.
Stop the lift immediately and inspect the hook, chain, shackles, and attachment points for any signs of strain, damage, or improper connection. Ensure all components are properly seated and rated for the load.
