Weighing only 520 pounds, it's surprisingly lightweight for its heavy-duty performance. This self-leveling pipe hook has a built-in cylinder that automatically adjusts to the pipe's weight, ensuring a proper balance point. It's the largest model in our range and can handle any type of 8-foot pipe sections. Plus, it can be hooked up to any machine with the right lifting capacity using a shackle/sling assembly like the Kenco RigMax. Kenco also offers a mechanical version that can handle up to 60,000-pound capacities. Technical specs include dimensions of 48 × 48 × 48 inches. Other models like the PH3500SL with a 3,500-pound capacity are also available.
Using the PH9000SL Self-Leveling Pipe Hook is easy. First, make sure the machine you're using has the capacity to lift the pipe. Connect the hook to the machine using a shackle/sling assembly like the Kenco RigMax. Place the hook around the pipe, and the built-in cylinder will automatically adjust to the pipe's weight for proper balance. When moving the pipe, keep a steady pace and avoid sudden jerks. As for maintenance, regularly check the hook for any signs of wear and tear, especially the cylinder and the connection points. Lubricate the moving parts as needed. If you notice any damage, stop using the hook immediately and have it repaired. Also, store the hook in a dry place to prevent rusting.
