What is an advantage of using the Cargo Hook Reach Pendant?

Using a Cargo Hook Reach Pendant provides the distinct advantage of removing the need for a static probe man during sling load operations. This is significant because a static probe man is typically required to assist in guiding the load onto the aircraft's cargo hook, which can pose safety risks and complicate the loading process.

By utilizing the pendant, the load can be positioned and secured without the need for personnel to be situated close to the aircraft or the moving load. This not only enhances safety by minimizing the risk of accidents related to personnel being in danger zones but also streamlines the operations, allowing for more efficient and quicker loading procedures. The Cargo Hook Reach Pendant effectively extends the reach of the cargo hook, thereby facilitating smoother operations while maintaining a safe distance from the load and the aircraft itself.
