Crane and load markings
9 cues in forceBridge or hoist body with the SWL marking in frame.
An illustrated crane hook block with two wire rope falls, a sheave block marked SWL 5 T, a swivel and a hook, hanging in an indoor bay.
Illustration of a hook block; clear and well lit. Background is blurred, and the floor area is only partly in view.
Block face centre-left and top right; hook shank and bowl underside; left rope mid-height. Several brownish rust stains sit on the steel surfaces of the block, the hook and the left rope, consistent with surface corrosion.
No enabled rule consumes this cue, so accepting it records evidence only.
Hook throat, lower centre-left. No latch spans the hook throat, which is fully open. A small pivot hole is visible on the hook tip, but no latch is fitted to it.

Left rope fall, upper centre. Curved wire strands stand proud of the left rope above the rust patch, indicating broken wires.

Hook block. No separate data plate is visible anywhere in frame. It may be on a face or component that is not shown.
No enabled rule consumes this cue, so accepting it records evidence only.
Hook tip and bowl. The hook tip is angular and has a light-coloured facet, and a pale arc marks the inner bowl. It cannot be determined from the illustration whether this is deformation, wear or rendering style.
No enabled rule consumes this cue, so accepting it records evidence only.
- Pale curved gouge or wear mark on the inside of the hook bowl at the load-bearing seat.
- SWL marking is partly obscured by rust staining.
Recorded on the report as notes. No cue, so no rule consumes them.
4 cues checked and not seen
- Heavy corrosion or section loss, Rust-coloured patches are localized: centre-left of the block face, its upper right corner, the hook shank, the hook bowl and one spot on the left rope. None shows flaking scale, deep pitting or visible thickness loss, and none covers a quarter of any surface.
- Safe working load not marked, 'SWL 5 T' is marked on the block face. It is partly overlapped by rust staining but remains readable.
- Guard removed or rotating part exposed, The sheaves appear enclosed within the block body. No open fixings or exposed drive parts are visible.
- Housekeeping around the asset, The visible floor is clear of debris and spills. The area directly below the hook is only partly in frame.
