Abstract
A hook for lifting a component is described herein. The hook includes a coupling portion configured for coupling to a chain, and a base extending from the coupling portion. The base defines an opening sized to receive a first portion of the component therein, and includes an extension extending from a lower surface of the base. The extension at least partially defines a notch sized to receive a second portion of the component therein. The extension is oriented to engage the second portion of the component to facilitate maintaining the hook in an upright orientation.
