Pipe Hook – SPH Type

A Pipe Hook – SPH Type (also commonly referred to as a Safety Pipe Hook or Pipe Lifter) is a specialized lifting tool used in pairs for the horizontal transport of pipes, tubes, and casing.

These hooks are specifically engineered to provide a secure grip and often feature safety mechanisms, such as spring-loaded jaws or latches, to prevent the hook from slipping after it is attached to the pipe.

Capacity and Specifications (Metric Tons)

Industrial SPH hooks typically range in capacity from 2 to 10 metric tons (t) per pair. Below is the breakdown for common models from major manufacturers:

Model  Mouth Opening Safe Working Load (SWL)
CC-03 38.1 mm – 44.5 mm 2.27 t (approx.)
CC-04 50.8 mm 3.40 t (approx.)
CC-05 60.3 mm – 66.7 mm 6.35 t (approx.)
DCC-002 50.8 mm (Double) 6.35 t (approx.)

Core Features

  • Mechanical Safety: These hooks often feature a spring-loaded jaw that holds the hook securely in place once attached, allowing operators to step away before tension is applied to the line.
  • Surface Protection: To prevent damage to pipes or coatings, hooks are frequently available with nylon, polyurethane, or Teflon inserts in the throat.
  • High Strength: Constructed from high-tensile alloy steel with a standard 6:1 design factor for safety in critical operations.

Operational Guidelines

  • Usage in Pairs: SPH hooks must always be used in pairs with a two-leg sling or spreader beam.
  • Lifting Angles: For maximum safety, a sling angle of 45 degrees or less from the horizontal is recommended.
  • Inspection: Hooks must be removed from service if there is any visible deformation, cracks, or if the throat opening exceeds the original manufacturer specifications.
