Poor quality materials : Some businesses use low-grade steel or refurbished hooks, resulting in insufficient load-bearing capacity.

Manufacturing defects : Not produced according to GB/T 10051 standard, there are hidden dangers such as cracks and pores.

False parameters : false rated load (e.g. a 10-ton hook can actually only withstand 5 tons).

No certificate/test report : Lack of third-party testing (such as SGS, CMA certification).

Failure to meet safety standards : Failure to meet TSG Q7015 (Technical Specification for Safety of Lifting Machinery) requirements.

Counterfeit brands : Imitations of well-known brands (e.g. KITO, Columbus McKinnon).

Incomplete qualifications : no "Special Equipment Production License" or ISO 9001 certification.

Fake trading company : a shell company or a factory without physical presence, with no after-sales guarantee.

Fake orders : The rate of positive reviews on e-commerce platforms is inflated, and the actual product quality is poor.

Transportation damage : The hook may collide and deform during transportation, affecting safety.

Delivery delays : affect project progress, especially when purchasing urgently.

The goods arrived are not as described : the wrong model or specification is sent (e.g. a double hook is sent instead of a single hook).

No quality guarantee : The merchant refuses returns, exchanges or repairs.

Liability disputes : If the accident is caused by quality problems of the hook, it will be difficult to hold the person responsible.

Cross-border procurement risks : tariffs, exchange rate fluctuations, and international logistics uncertainties.

Verification of qualifications : Production license, ISO certification, and test reports (such as magnetic particle inspection/UT reports) are required .

Factory inspection : through video inspection or audit by a third-party organization (such as SGS).

Platform selection : Choose B2B platforms such as JD Industrial Products and Zhenkunxing , and give priority to "brand flagship stores".

Request sample testing :

• Perform magnetic particle testing (MT) or ultrasonic testing (UT) .

• Check the material report (such as alloy steel DG20).

Signing a technical agreement : clarifying the materials, processes, and load test standards (such as 1.25 times static load test).

Clear acceptance terms : payment will be made after the goods have passed third-party inspection upon arrival.

Use guaranteed transactions : such as Alibaba's "Integrity Guarantee" or platform-hosted payment.

Purchase insurance : logistics insurance, product quality liability insurance.

Choose reliable logistics : SF Express for large items, Deppon Logistics, and avoid small express companies.

Immediate inspection upon arrival :

• Check the appearance (no cracks, deformation).

• Check the nameplate information (SWL, production date, manufacturer).

• Carry out on-site magnetic particle inspection when necessary .

Retain evidence : chat records, contracts, and test reports.

Platform complaints : If there are quality issues, you can apply for platform intervention.

Legal approach : If a major accident occurs, sue the merchant or platform for joint liability.

Case 1 : A construction company purchased a 5-ton hook through an e-commerce platform. It broke after 3 months of use. Testing found that the material was inferior steel and the merchant had been deregistered.
Lesson : No sample testing was done and the supplier's qualifications were not verified.

Case 2 : A logistics company purchased a 10-ton hook without an anti-drop device, which led to a lifting accident.
Lesson : Failure to check whether it complies with the GB/T 10051 standard.
