I was looking at some site for Clevis hook application. It was too technical, with charts and angles of approach and such so I don't remember much. But, in rating what weight the hook could lift, they spent several sentences on how you're not supposed to apply sudden weight, as in jerking it up, or dropping a weight. Seems to me that a trailer disconnect would be a sudden application of force, so the weight rating of the hook wouldn't apply.
