#410 & #411 D-LOK Helicopter Hoist Hooks
The D-LOK Hoist Hook incorporates an automatic dual-lock latch gate design.  This double lock gate provides the ultimate in security to prevent accidental openings, while allowing the latch gate to be operated quickly and easily with one hand.  The Hoist Hook features a large hook eye for multiple equipment rings, and will accept rings over one inch in diameter.  Integral utility eye (model #410 only) allows attachment of tag/guide line.  Hook is constructed entirely of stainless steel for strength and corrosion resistance.  Click photo for larger image.

#410-G D-LOK Hoist Hook

The D-LOK Hoist Hook eliminates all problems associated with the current double rescue hook, such as inadvertent engagement (including the snagging of fingers on the small hook), and self-release (ring roll-out).  The LSC D-LOK Hoist Hook also exceeds the load test requirement for the double rescue hook (MS-18027-2A).  Hook is available with seven (7) standard attachment options to fit all current hoist installations.  Patent No. D389983

#197 Quick Splice with D-LOK Hoist Hook
#199 Quick Splice without Hook
The new wedge style Quick Splice with D-LOK Hoist Hook is designed for in-flight emergency replacement of the helicopter's hoist hook.  Should the hoist cable become damaged, broken, or entangled during rescue missions, the rescue crewman can quickly cut the cable and replace the hook.  This allows the helicopter to complete the mission in lieu of aborting.  A thumb screw is used to secure the wedge against the cable.  The unique wedge design ensures that the grip on the cable increases as the load increases.  Easy to follow instructions are laser printed on the Quick Splice face.

The Quick Splice is constructed of anodized aluminum with stainless steel fasteners for strength and corrosion resistance. Each unit is proof load tested to 2,800 lbs at the factory.  The splice is also available without the LSC D-LOK Hoist Hook as part number #199, and is supplied with a shackle for attaching an alternate hook.  The Quick Splice does not include a guard for the up-limit switch.  Such a guard provides a false sense of security. Today’s “intelligent” hoists are calibrated for the original cable length supplied on the hoist.  Therefore a shortened cable length will compromise the safety features (up-limit switch) of the hoist. The hoist operator must take caution to prevent tube-lock when any splice is used.  Superior to existing wraparound & lace-through designs, the Quick Splice offers:

• Quick, simple and positive cable installation.

• No wire wraps to come undone or unlaced.

• Full rated breaking-strength of the hoist cable, no strength degradation.

• To be used with 3/16", 19 x 7 hoist cable only.
