Re: Wat the Hook Gon Be?
donno is this is considered a hook but its how we hang..

its just extruded aluminum. nothing special its very light too it weights about .5 pounds per foot.

our original hook was aluminum..

made in machine shop at school. very simple but our over all design was 40lbs over weight.. so we changed it to the extruded aluminum. worked very well and now with that we can guard the top plat form and hang at any moment.
