Product Overview
The FP37 Tower Hook is an essential component for professionals operating within the height safety sector. Constructed from high-grade aluminium, this snap hook provides a robust yet lightweight solution for secure attachment to scaffolding and structural anchors. Designed for those who require dependable hardware while working in demanding environments, it ensures that safety protocols are met without adding excessive bulk to a technician's equipment load.
Key Features
- 60mm Gate Opening: The wide aperture allows for effortless connection to large diameter pipes and scaffolding tubes, ensuring you aren't struggling to find an anchor point when focus is required elsewhere.
- 23KN Static Strength: This high load-bearing capacity provides the necessary reassurance that the connector can withstand significant forces, meeting rigorous safety standards for peace of mind.
- Snag-Free Loop: The intelligently designed loop prevents the hook from catching on webbing or other equipment, facilitating smoother transitions and reducing frustration during active use.
- Lightweight Aluminium Build: By utilising aluminium instead of heavier alloys, this hook minimises the physical toll on the user, making it ideal for those carrying multiple connectors throughout a full shift.
Design & Performance
Performance in fall protection is measured by reliability under stress. The FP37 is certified to EN 362:2004 (Class A and T), marking it as a specialised anchor and terminating connector. The silver finish isn't just for aesthetics; it provides a clear, clean surface that makes visual inspections for cracks or deformities straightforward. The snap hook mechanism is engineered for a positive, secure closure, ensuring the gate remains shut once engaged with your anchor point.
Why No Customisation?
At MyWorkwear, we take safety as seriously as you do. This Tower Hook is a safety-critical piece of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and is sold as-is. We do not offer customisation, such as engraving or painting, on this item because any modification to the surface could compromise the structural integrity of the aluminium or obscure vital safety markings and batch numbers. Preserving the manufacturer's original specification is paramount for compliance and your continued safety.
Use Cases
This connector is specifically designed for height safety applications, including scaffolding, tower climbing, and steelwork construction. It is an ideal choice for telecommunications engineers, riggers, and any tradesperson who requires a reliable anchor connector compatible with fall arrest and work positioning systems.

Practical Advice
Before every use, we recommend a thorough visual and tactile inspection of the gate mechanism. Ensure that the snap hook closes fully and locks without hesitation. When pairing this hook with other components, always verify that they are compatible under EN 362 standards to ensure the entire system functions as intended. While aluminium is corrosion-resistant, it is wise to avoid contact with sharp edges that could gouge the metal.
Caring for your product
Maintaining your safety hardware is vital for its longevity and your safety. To keep the gate mechanism functioning smoothly, ensure it is kept free of dirt, grit, and dust. A simple wipe-down with a clean, damp cloth is usually sufficient to remove surface contaminants that could otherwise cause the mechanism to stick.
Avoid exposing the aluminium to harsh chemicals, acids, or corrosive cleaning agents, as these can cause microscopic damage to the material structure that may not be visible to the naked eye. Store the hook in a dry, cool environment away from direct sunlight to prevent any degradation of the internal spring components.
Finally, never attempt to lubricate the mechanism with heavy oils or greases that attract dirt. If the gate becomes stiff, a small amount of dry, silicone-based lubricant may be used, followed by a thorough test to ensure it does not compromise the locking function.
