Rules for hanging, using a loop over the end of the bar

Our machine cannot climb, but can easily reach the top of the bar from the floor.
We've been having a hard time hooking on (from about a 45 degree angle).
We saw a machine at PARC with a simple loop of cable which they intended to hook over the end of the bar from the outside, then hoist the machine up.
I've read the rules and this seems legal, but some teams (having not thought of it themselves) thought that it would be disallowed.
Did anyone see a loop (hoop?) succesfully used as a hook at a regional or the Nats?

Thanks,
Charlie Affel, mentor, 487
