Rigging Ring/Hook Enquiry for a Selected Lifting or Suspension Task

• Type

  Other

Define a ring or hook enquiry around an identified model and the intended lifting, rigging or suspension task. Obtain its selected drawing and maker use limits before choosing the complete connection.

Identify the supplied form and required steel specification

Ask for the exact model, a clear view of its form and an itemised description of the supplied parts. Have the required stainless-steel or carbon-steel specification identified for that version, with relevant material and traceability records.

• Request a dimensioned drawing of the selected item.
• Identify both ends of the proposed connection.
• Define engagement with the actual mating parts.
• Check any supplied closure or release and its operating room.
• Obtain the relevant installation instructions.

Use the drawing to identify each dimension that controls assembly. Request clarification where the supplied parts or attachment method cannot be established from the proposed model.

Describe the complete arrangement and proposed duty

Provide a connection sketch showing the intended attachment and the space available around it. Describe the proposed task and loading arrangement so the maker can identify the records relevant to that exact configuration.

Request selected-model marking, directional load/test evidence and working-use limits where applicable. Have the maker identify the tested arrangement and any conditions that affect the proposed use; a numerical reference alone cannot establish approval of the complete installation.

Resolve the evidence and sample scope before ordering

Confirm the applicable conformity scope and instructions needed to assess the chosen connection. Ask which documents and sample checks will establish model identity, fit and the proposed duty before acceptance.

Then request present availability, minimum quantity and sample arrangements for that identified model. Keep the selected parts, drawing revision and required supporting records together in the enquiry.
