Joker hooks are coloured according to DIN EN 1492 to simplify
their combination with textile slings of the same load capacity
and colour code
If the sling has already been connected to joker hooks at the factory,
mounting is not necessary!
How to mount joker hooks
11
1. Press the safety latch inward and guide the sling (e.g. round sling)
to the bed of the hook.
2. Pull the sling into the head of the hook.
3. Distribute the textile sling evenly, without folds, over the entire
interior width of the hook head.
4. Now the joker hook has been fastened to the sling. You can now
use the joker hook to fasten the sling to the load.
3.3 Selection
The weight, geometry, surface condition and design features of the
load are crucial criteria for choosing the sling.
It is permissible to combine joker hooks with SpanSet round
slings of the same nominal load capacity.
Lifting straps are made with various loop constructions. Therefore,
the thickness and width of the lifting strap loop is decisive for possi-
ble combination with the joker hook. The lifting strap must lie fully in
the joker hook and must not be pinched
3.4 Fastening
It is helpful to use sling points that turn in the direction of the load.
Their geometry must be compatible with the joker hook and allow opti-
mal load distribution and direction of the joker hook. Position the joker
hook on the sling and the load in such a way that there is no transverse
load during the lifting process. The hook bed must be able to move
freely in the sling point. The hook can line up and take up the load.
