One of the hooks could be manually fixed on the bottom of the boom at whichever position while the other hook remains fitted at the end of the jib. This permits the individual operating it to pick up stuff that have two hook points. Dependent upon the dimensions of the model, every hook is rated at either four thousand or six thousand lbs. It's possible to use either a hook or both to lift a load. The individual operating it must make certain that the entire weight of the jib and the load does not exceed the rated capability of the jib as shown on the load chart for that retracted or extended position.
