Abstract
A hook for lifting a component includes a hook body and a latch. The hook body includes a coupling portion having an elongate aperture defined therein for receiving at least a portion of a chain, and an engaging portion extending from the coupling portion, the engaging portion defining a hook opening sized for receiving a first portion of the component therein. The latch is pivotably coupled to the coupling portion and pivotable between a first position and a second position relative to the hook body. The latch occludes the hook opening in the second position. The latch defines a chain aperture that is aligned with the elongate aperture such that the portion of the chain extends through each of the elongate aperture and the chain aperture and causes the latch to pivot between the first and second positions in response to a load being applied to the hook.
