A security section is configured as a load bearing, pivoting hanging section (16) of the claw hook, which is located between the shaft sections and pivots about the bolts (15). It is lockable in its closed position, with the underside of the hanger having a nose-shaped locking projection (17) which lies above the pocket (7) to prevent the chain (8) from coming free.
