For procedural safety, a gripping device for a crane hook for safely removing a hook from a forklift may include a sensor and a method of communicating the open and closed status of the hook to a crane cab for the driver to be notified. The gripping device can include a handle, having a trigger coupled to a cable seated within a central rod. A pair of jaws may couple to the central rod and a finger may couple to one jaw, wherein the cable is seated within the one jaw and the finger, which can swing about a hinge. As such, when the trigger is actuated while the hook is positioned between the pair of jaws, the cable is pulled, which pulls the finger down to open a latch of the crane hook. When the trigger is released, the cable is released and the finger retracts up.
