twinstar_ca Posted July 9, 2021 Report Share Posted July 9, 2021 I believe it's ASME (American Society of Mechanical Engineers) who set the standards... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freewheel Posted July 12, 2021 Report Share Posted July 12, 2021 I’m guessing this is related to the assertion that Crosby barrel hooks are not approved for helicopter use https://fr.barry.ca/blogs/safety-alert/barry-barrel-sling-special-safety-directive-product-safety-directive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rotarywrench Posted July 16, 2021 Report Share Posted July 16, 2021 I made a similar barrel lifting device and used the above mentioned Crosby hook and put the standpipe from the refueling set up through the hook eye and had attached a piece of rubber mat to prevent the standpipe from slipping on the barrel. The only extra piece to carry around was the hook and the 12"X3" rubber that was screwed onto the hook. No pictures, before digital cameras.

GeezusNut Posted July 27, 2021 Report Share Posted July 27, 2021 "Cheap Field Barrel Lifter" is my job description, don't put me out of work. Great idea though for remote locations or when you have nothing else 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Rob Couldn’t use standpipe as the company I work for uses copper pipes and they’re too weak to lift the barrel. I tried once and the pipe would have just bent.

lamanated Posted August 30, 2021 Report Share Posted August 30, 2021 the barrel hook memo came out a few yrs ago as mentioned above,, RE lifters. it helps to make the contact surfaces rough ie with skate board or stair tread tape on it. cause went or cold barrels are slippery.
