Description
Gate Types
Brass alloy Golden Gates® are engineered for quality, easy handling and dependability. The heavy-duty, corrosion resistant locking mechanism will stay locked until an operator releases it; yet, can easily be shut with one hand. Cost effective, these gates reduce down time, providing the alternative to conventional latches.
LIF-LOK® GATE—Size 1
To lock: close the gate; the built-in spring locks the gate against the hook tip.
To unlock: lift the gate upward on the hook shank and swing open.
PIN-LOK®—Sizes 2 through 4
To lock: close the gate; a stainless steel pin is carried in a horizontal bore and engages a milled slot in the hook shank.
To unlock: simply depress the stainless steel pin which causes the pin to disengage from the milled slot.
ROLLOX® GATE—Sizes 5 through 9
To lock: close the gate; a stainless steel pin is mounted in a horizontal bore which passes through the gate and engages a notch milled in the hook shank.
To unlock: move the lever downward a quarter-turn or until it stops, the gate can now swing open 160° (approx.).
TIP-LOK® GATE—Sizes 10 through 17
To lock: press the arm down until the lock trips; two arms of the gate now enclose the tip of the hook.
To unlock: manually depressing the locking trigger automatically raises the movable arm, allowing the gate to be rotated open.
Hook Connectors
The six connector styles shown to the right make it possible for Crosby to furnish a Golden Gate Hook to fit almost any make or model of hoisting equipment.
