The Tigrip Hook Adapter Kit attaches a lifting hook directly to a TZL or TZR load indicator, allowing the indicator to receive slings, chains or rigging via a hook connection. Each kit is matched to the rated capacity of the load indicator it will be used with, covering 1 tonne up to 100 tonne. Manufactured by Columbus McKinnon under the Tigrip brand, each kit includes hook, adapter body and fasteners; the TZL or TZR load indicator itself is sold separately.

How to Fit the Hook Adapter Kit
- Confirm that the kit capacity matches the rated capacity of your TZL or TZR load indicator.
- Inspect the hook, adapter body, and fasteners visually for damage before fitting.
- Fit the adapter body to the bottom connection point of the load indicator using the supplied fasteners.
- Tighten the fasteners to the torque specified in the load indicator operating manual.
- Fit the hook to the adapter body, ensuring the connection is fully tightened and secured.
- Verify the assembly is rigid and free of play before applying load.
Warning:
Do not exceed the rated capacity of the adapter kit or the load indicator it is fitted to. Do not mix kit components from different capacities. Do not use the kit if any component shows signs of damage, wear, or distortion. Always ensure the hook safety latch is operational before applying load.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How do I choose the correct hook kit?
Match the kit capacity to the capacity of your TZL or TZR load indicator. For example, a TZR 35.0 needs the 35 tonne hook kit. The kit will not function safely if mismatched.
Q: Is the load indicator included in the kit?
No. The kit contains the hook, adapter body, and fasteners only. The TZL or TZR load indicator is sold separately.
Q: Can I use this kit with a different brand of load indicator?
No. The adapter is sized specifically to mate with the Tigrip TZL and TZR bodies. Using it with another brand or model of load indicator is not safe and is not supported.
Q: Does the hook include a safety latch?
Yes. All hooks in the kit range are supplied with a self-closing safety latch as standard.
Q: Is the kit supplied with a test certificate?
Yes. A manufacturer's test certificate is supplied with each kit.
Q: How often should the kit be inspected?
Visual inspection before each use, with particular attention to the hook throat opening and latch function. LOLER 1998 thorough examination by a competent person every 12 months.
Q: Can I order a kit on its own without a load indicator?
Yes. The hook adapter kit can be ordered as a stand-alone accessory, for example as a spare or replacement for an existing load indicator already in service.
