| Frontlock Hooks
Frontlock Hooks the automatic locking mechanism on O’Bannon Frontlock
Hooks is as easy to open as your hand. Half concealed in the shank of the hook
is a lever, which releases the latch only when the hook is gripped to engage
or disengage the elevator bail. The latch is hinged just above this point and
extends across the mouth of the hook. It is strong enough to ward off beams
and girts, yet sensitive enough to respond instantly to the grip of the operator.
For those operators who prefer, the Regular hook is supplied with a guard over
the latch (cast as an integral part of the shank).
Bearings
The main bearing in the Frontlock hook is a heavy-duty ball thrust type, fully
enclosed to keep out dirt. It is easily lubricated through a shielded zerk
fitting.
