Choosing a lifting hook
Start with the grade and the working load limit. G80 and G100 are the lifting grades in this range, and G100 gives a higher working load limit for the same chain size. G70 hooks are listed as transport chain fittings, which is for restraining loads on vehicles, not for overhead lifting. Match the hook grade to the chain or sling it connects to.
Then choose the style. A sling hook with safety latch suits slings and chain slings. A self-locking hook closes automatically, which helps when the load will be handled while attached. A grab hook grips a chain link so you can shorten a leg, and a swivel hook with a ball bearing lets the load turn without twisting the sling. Clevis hooks attach with a pin, and eye hooks attach with a shackle or link.
Always check the data sheet. Confirm the working load limit, size and grade, and that the hook suits the rest of your lifting assembly, before every lift.

Lifting hook FAQs
What is the difference between G70, G80 and G100 hooks?
It is the grade of the hook. G80 and G100 are the lifting grades in this range, with G100 giving a higher working load limit. G70 hooks are listed as transport chain fittings for restraining loads, not for overhead lifting. Check the data sheet for your hook.
What is a self-locking hook?
It is a hook where the latch closes and locks automatically, so the load cannot come off until you release it. We list clevis, eye, shank and swivel versions.
What is a grab hook used for?
A grab hook grips a chain link so you can shorten a chain leg or take up slack. We list clevis and eye versions in G80 and G100.
Why would I choose a swivel hook?
A swivel hook with a ball bearing lets the load rotate without twisting the sling or chain. We list swivel hooks from Austlift, Beaver and Yoke.
Do you have stainless steel lifting hooks?
We list an Inox World slip hook swivel in A4 (316) stainless steel. Check the data sheet for its rating and suitability for your use.
How do I know the working load limit of a hook?
The working load limit is marked on the hook and shown in the product listing or data sheet. Never exceed it, and check the rating of everything else in the lifting assembly as well.
