Hoist hook and arm sources?
I’m expecting to use an engine hoist as an accessory for unloading an all-steel side-lever guillotine paper cutter about four feet tall. However, the hook and its receiver arm are lost. Currently, I’m using a thick-walled steel pipe with heavy chain in place of a hook. Can anyone recommend a source for a replacement hook and arm? Is this a Grainger item? Or Atwood’s? My hoist is rated to four tons.
I don’t know about the arm, but the hooks can be ordered from McMaster-Carr (http://www.mcmaster.com).
Thank you. Looks like the information I need. I appreciate it.
