The Pewag VLHW16 is a Grade 100 replacement trigger set designed for use with Pewag safety hooks in the LHW 5/6, KLHW 5/6, and WLH(B)W 6 families. The set includes the safety lever, stainless steel spring, and cotter pin, providing all components necessary to fully restore the trigger mechanism on compatible safety hooks. The stainless steel spring provides enhanced corrosion resistance compared to standard carbon steel springs, making this trigger set particularly well suited for hooks used in wet, marine, chemical, or washdown environments where spring degradation is a common maintenance concern.
The trigger mechanism is a critical safety feature of these hook designs, functioning as a positive locking device that prevents the hook from opening unless the trigger is deliberately actuated. This provides a higher level of load retention security than a standard safety latch, making trigger-style safety hooks preferred in applications where accidental hook opening poses a significant risk. The VLHW16 trigger set is engineered to Pewag's OEM specifications for the compatible hook family, ensuring correct fit, trigger engagement force, and spring rate when installed on LHW 5/6, KLHW 5/6, and WLH(B)W 6 hooks.
As a safety-critical replacement assembly, the VLHW16 must be installed by qualified personnel in accordance with Pewag's assembly and maintenance guidelines. The safety lever, spring, and cotter must be inspected regularly for wear, deformation, loss of spring tension, or corrosion, and must be replaced immediately if any deficiency is identified. Only OEM Pewag replacement parts should be used to maintain the rated performance and safety integrity of the hook assembly.
