Safety Considerations• A swivel-hook block should always be used in the eye

of the gin and a sheave or capstan near the bottom of the structure should be used to thread handline

• Gins are not intended for applications involving side pull on the hoist line or with the lift load in a tagged-out position

• Load line should be parallel to the gin pole• When calculating load capacities, allow 10 percent for

friction in rope pulleys• For example, using two double-sheave blocks,

maximum lift load would be 1,400 lbs.; or, using a single sheave, maximum lift load would be 900 lbs.

Swivel-Top Chain Gin• Same application as Transformer Gin, but top eye casting

can be swiveled to bypass secondary lines, when necessary• Cap is not intended to swivel while under load• Gin has identical load ratings to gins above• Features 48” Epoxiglas® mast and with two wheel tighten-

ers and 36” chain units

INSULATED GIN POLE/CARGO BOOMInsulated Gin Pole is equipped with three chain tighteners which can be mounted to the pole to give lifting capacities of 5,000 pounds.• Top casting is fitted with two clevises for convenience in loading.• Placing a pole clamp in the swivel lug allows use of wire tong for stabilizing the gin.

Insulated Cargo Boom is rated at 1,000-pound capacity.• Center casting can be adjusted to three possible positions for guy loading the tool.• Base mounting is hinged to permit pivoting of the tool from horizontal upward 90° to vertical and will also swivel a full 180°, depending upon the proximity to the structure.• Casting at the top is the same as on the Insulated Gin Pole.

Features & Applications• Yoke casting fits over distribution crossarms, allowing

gin to be used with rope blocks• Can also be used with rope blocks or handline to lift

conductors from their insulators• Removable cadmium-plated steel pin provides

adjustment for crossarm from 3-1/2” x 4-1/2” up to 4-3/4” x 5-3/4”

• Convertible model fits up to 6” x 6” crossarm

Safety Considerations• At 30° maximum angle from vertical, 44” gin has

rated working load including pull force of 750 lbs.• 500 lb. 56" gins are not intended for side-pull

applications on hoist line or load line• Lines to be within 5° of vertical

by itself for hanging transformers• Maximum rating of gin bracket is 2500 lbs.The gin beam can be rotated in a half circle, swinging the

load away from underbuild obstructions. Rocker-action of the beam, up to 60°, controls distance of the load from the pole.
