Aardwolf Swivel Hook – 1.5 Ton Working Load Limit, Alloy Steel
Aardwolf Swivel Hook – 1.5 Ton Working Load Limit, Alloy Steel
The Aardwolf Swivel Hook SH1.5T is an alloy steel lifting hook with a 1.5 ton working load limit - 3,307 lb - supplied with a 36 in. safety chain, used to turn a forklift tine or a crane fitting into a lifting point.
Read the rating carefully. The SKU is written SH15T without the decimal point, but the hook is the 1.5 ton model, not a 15 ton one. Aardwolf's line runs SH1.5T, SH3T and SH7T, and the number is the working load limit in tonnes.

Who Is This For?
Yards and shops that need a rated lifting point on a forklift tine or a crane fitting for slab lifters and clamps, without adding a permanent attachment.
The rating is the constraint and it is easy to get wrong on this part. At 3,307 lb it is adequate for tools in the same class - the Aardwolf Lifter 50 at 2,646 lb, or the Aardwolf Lifter Twister at 2,646 lb - but it must not be used with the Aardwolf Horizontal Stone Lifting Clamp AHLC-2010-4T, which is rated 8,818 lb: no fitting in a lifting assembly may be rated below the load it carries. If your load is heavier, use a swivel hook rated at or above the load - Aardwolf's line continues above 1.5 ton - and confirm availability before ordering.
