Always use a swivel-hook block in the eye of the gin and a sheave or capstan near the bottom of the structure to thread fall line. Gins are not intended for applications involving side pull on the hoist line or with the lift load in a tagged out position. Load line should be parallel to the gin pole. When calculating load capacities, lift load plus pull load equals working load limit. Allow 10 percent for friction in rope pulleys.
