The Caldwell Model 5S-1 1/2-4 Fork Hook with Single Swivel is a below-the-hook lifting accessory engineered to attach directly to a single forklift fork, converting the fork into a hook-based lifting point for loads that require a hook connection rather than direct fork engagement. The single swivel hook allows the hook to rotate freely and self-align with the load attachment point, reducing torsional stress on the connection and accommodating variations in load geometry or attachment point orientation during lifting and transport.
The fork hook slides onto the forklift fork and is secured in position, providing a stable and reliable hook attachment point that moves with the forklift for flexible load handling throughout the facility. This type of forklift attachment is well suited for lifting and positioning loads fitted with lifting lugs, eye bolts, shackles, or other hook-compatible attachment hardware in applications where a crane or hoist is not available and the load cannot be handled directly by the forklift forks. The 5S-1 1/2-4 model designation indicates compatibility with a specific fork size range, ensuring proper fit and secure engagement on the forklift fork.
As a Caldwell product, the Model 5S-1 1/2-4 is built to the dimensional and performance standards associated with the Caldwell line of below-the-hook lifting devices and forklift attachments. It should be used only within its rated working load limit and on forklifts with fork dimensions within the compatible range, and operated in accordance with Caldwell's specifications and applicable lifting device safety standards including ASME B30.20.
