Pocster Posted October 8, 2020 Author Share Posted October 8, 2020 Oops ! F ! clip slipped off hook . Tray fell maybe 30cm !!! ????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pocster Posted October 8, 2020 Author Share Posted October 8, 2020 Not happy now ! Tray seems ok . But how do I make sure these don’t slide off the hook !? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Punter Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 It looks like you messed with the safety catch on the hook and it bit you on the arse. Why are you having a heavy shower tray suspended over the area where you are trying to work? You're lucky not to be wearing it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why are you having a heavy shower tray suspended over the area where you are trying to work? You're lucky not to be wearing it! When it’s above me I prop a length of timber across it . Winch is taking no weight - it’s relatively safe perched on timber . As I said I like to test and try a few times to get everything in the right place . No good getting it wrong and trying to lift it out on my own from a corner . Problem was the crappy clasp on the hook pulled out . Need a lockable clasp on a hook that can go on a cabled winch . I’m never under the tray when it’s moving up or down - I’m not that stupid ! ? This is a safe method !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pocster Posted October 8, 2020 Author Share Posted October 8, 2020 Nothing too see here ! Walk on by ! Tray up ( very carefully watching the hook ) timber propped underneath . There it will stay until a nicer ? hook solution is found . No drama . Oh look ! A forest ? ! See it !? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is how it was when you lifted and it slipped. Right hand D shackle the wrong way round. I suspect that as you lifted, the pin of the right hand D pushed the left hand D upward. How you have the Ds now is better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will order new hook as you suggest ! Failure is not an option ! ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has a balloon to protect his Nads ... tray would bounce off and damage the ceiling. (The last time I put out a hostage to fortune like that was when I made a Big Bad Wolf joke about @ToughButterCup's piggery. A bit later the wind blew his house down.)

Ferdinand Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 I can't get the Wicked Witch of the East out of my head now. I think a pair of these should be installed in the bathroom. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pocster Posted October 14, 2020 Author Share Posted October 14, 2020 Bought a better hook as suggested by @Onoff - much better than the supplied one - no chance for straps to come off 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pocster Posted October 15, 2020 Author Share Posted October 15, 2020 Just to help anyone else that has a real heavy tray and no friends . Scaff on the left to support steel bar . Noggins added into timber frame on the right to sit other end of steel bar on . Winch on steel bar . Hole made in marine ply wall so a timber could sit across from here to Scaff . This so when tray is high enough it can sit on timber . Dont really want the winch failing and tray landing on me . A messy , lots of work solution ? . Yes .

Or is this the purpose of installing the new tray ..?? ? In more seriousness, you should limit what you try and move on your own as a lot of accidents happen when people over exert themselves and it can be long term debilitating or potentially fatal if you are trapped under something heavy. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do . Trust me I’m more careful than you think . Just to get the uvc hydro box in with the other guys I could see it was risky . Quickly sorted a crane for £600 !!
