TS 10111 ISO 1837

TS 10111 ISO 1837 is a terminology standard for the naming of hooks used in lifting equipment. Standards of this kind help ensure that different hook forms are identified with the same technical meaning across drawings, catalogues, maintenance documents, and procurement communication.

Why hook nomenclature matters

Lifting hooks are core accessories that connect a load to slings, chains, wire ropes, or other connecting elements. In general technical terms, the hook geometry, throat opening, body form, and attachment arrangement influence how the hook is used, mounted, and matched with other lifting components. For that reason, nomenclature standards are important for distinguishing hook types that may look similar but serve different functions.

What this standard covers

According to the supplied scope, the standard addresses the nomenclature of various types of hooks used on lifting equipment. Its main purpose is to establish a common technical language and consistent naming, rather than to set strength values, manufacturing methods, or test procedures for a particular hook type. This supports terminology alignment between manufacturers, users, and technical documentation.

In practical terms, the document serves as a reference for engineering, quality, purchasing, and maintenance teams that need to use the correct names for hook classes and definitions in lifting systems. It is the Turkish equivalent publication based on ISO 1837.
