LCM4503 Helicoptor Cargo Hook Weight Verification

A manufacturer of specialist equipment for the aerospace industry contacted us with a requirement for a bespoke load pin designed to fit within their new helicopter cargo hook. This keeperless hook is one of a new range of cargo hook products the company has designed, and has been based on a core design which has a far higher maximum operating load capacity of 10,000 lb and designed with a greater safety factor. This effectively increases the safety margin of the cargo hook significantly, boosting operator confidence. Also, due to increasing legislation and changes in the market that now demand products that offer new innovative features, the company decided to take on a more integrated systems approach, and hence the new design offers many intrinsic features, one of which is weight indication.
