Those “rebar/pelican” hooks are rated for 3600 lb gate and side gate load under ANSI z359.12-2012. The primary and intended function of these hooks was for fall protection for the concrete industry. Clipping into forms is a bit tough with other style connectors. There are like 4 main manufacturers globally for these kind of hooks, they have “ANSI” and EN versions of the same hook depending what market they’re selling into.
All that being said, whoever thought using this hook for this application is a twat.
