I worked for a really big crane rental and rigging company. They were the largest in a major city on the east coast. Two times they owned the world's largest truck crane. They must have had 100 flatbeds for boom, counterweights, rigging, etc. All the flatbeds had like 6 chains welded to one side, and snap binders with a short piece of chain attaching them to the trailers. That way we could drop them on jobsites and not have the chains and binders stolen. And here was the thing, no hooks on the chains whatsoever. And no we didn't rely on the welds. After a while you get really good at working without hooks.

I’ll be there on the 29th of April
That's awesome!
@@kivibrostruckinginc.4108 I’m looking forward to it for sure
Or you can just remove the hook . Pull chain thru then reattach the hook
Just remove the hook. That’s a lot of unnecessary going on here.
