MANUAL CHAIN HOIST M3 SERIES

Product Description

The Kito Hook Latch Kit is a genuine OEM replacement component designed for use in Kito M3 Series manual chain hoists at the 1 tonne capacity rating, identified by part number C1FA005-1071. The hook latch kit contains the latch body, latch spring, and associated retaining hardware required to restore the safety latch mechanism on the hoist hook to full working condition. The hook safety latch is a critical safety component on both the upper suspension hook and the lower load hook of the chain hoist, functioning as a positive retention device that prevents the hook from accidentally disengaging from its attachment point — whether a beam flange, lifting eye, shackle, or load — during hoist operation, load positioning, and load travel.

The hook latch must be in sound condition and providing correct spring tension at all times during hoist operation. A latch that does not close fully against the hook tip, does not spring back positively when released, or is deformed, cracked, or missing entirely leaves the hook open to accidental disengagement of the load or suspension point under conditions of slack, side loading, or incidental contact with surrounding structures or personnel. Any of these conditions require the hoist to be removed from service until the hook latch is replaced and the hook assembly is confirmed to be in full working order by a qualified hoist technician.

The hook latch kit format provides all the components required for a complete latch restoration in a single OEM part, ensuring the latch body, spring, and retaining hardware are all replaced together and correctly matched to the M3 Series hook geometry and spring force specification. Using a genuine Kito OEM Hook Latch Kit identified by part number C1FA005-1071 ensures the replacement latch components are dimensionally correct for the M3 Series hook body, provide the correct spring force for positive latch engagement, and are manufactured to the same material and performance specifications as the original parts.
