Welcome to Associated Wire Rope & Rigging .
This comprehensive 5-page imperial guide provides detailed technical data for Standard and Heavy-Duty Safety Latches with locking pins. It includes dimension tables for latches compatible with DIN 15401 and DIN 15402 hooks, as well as specialized safety latches for OHB-B forged alloy eye hooks. The document also offers practical guidance on achieving a functional fit, noting that minor on-site fit-up work may be required due to common variations in the hook production process.
Ropeblock Safety Latches provide a robust secondary securement solution for a wide range of industrial hooks, preventing the unintentional release of rigging lines or slings. These precision-fit latches are available in standard, bracketed, and heavy-duty configurations, ensuring reliable load containment for single and double hooks in demanding construction and maritime environments.
Below is a partial specification table for HD and Standard safety latches. Please contact our technical team for full model verification, stainless steel availability, and specific dimensional requirements based on your hook type.
⚠ Safety Warning: Always adhere to the recommended Working Load Limit (WLL) and ensure the safety latch is fully engaged before initiating any lift. Certain dimensional variations in hooks may require minor fit-up work on-site to achieve a functional fit. Refer to the comprehensive safety documentation on pages 136-149 for full installation and maintenance procedures.
