Lifting Hooks — Grade 80 Swivel, Self-Locking & Clevis Hooks for Rigging

AIMS Industrial supplies a comprehensive range of certified lifting hooks for rigging, crane, hoist, and material-handling applications across construction, mining, manufacturing, and transport industries. Our range from Austlift, Beaver, and Yoke covers Grade 80 swivel hooks with safety catches, self-locking hooks, clevis grab hooks, winged grab hooks, and hoist eye hooks — all load-rated to Australian standards with WLL markings for compliant rigging.

Lifting Hook Types & Grades

• G80 Swivel Self-Locking Hooks: Austlift Grade 80 swivel self-locking hooks feature a ball-bearing swivel for unrestricted load rotation and an automatic safety latch — available from 1T to 12T WLL for use with Grade 80 chain slings and crane rigging.
• G80 Swivel Hook with Safety Catch: Austlift G80 swivel hooks with ball bearing swivel and safety catch provide 360° rotation and positive load retention — the standard choice for overhead crane hook block rigging where load swing is a factor.
• G80 Clevis Self-Locking Hooks: Austlift LC-type clevis self-locking hooks attach directly to D-shackles and master links — the clevis pin provides a fixed, non-rotating connection suitable for multi-leg sling rigging to a common lifting point.
• Grade 80 Swivel Hooks (Beaver): Beaver Grade 80 swivel self-locking hooks with bearing swivel cover 1T to 12T WLL — manufactured to EN1677 with batch traceability and WLL marking for rigging compliance in lift planning and SWMS documentation.
• G70 Clevis Winged Grab Hooks: Austlift G70 clevis winged grab hooks are designed for chain shortening and load securement applications — the winged profile locks onto chain links for positive engagement without slippage during transport and chain binding operations.
• Swivel Hoist Eye Hooks: Austlift swivel hoist eye alloy hooks connect to wire rope, chain, and hoist drum shafts — providing a compliant, load-rated top connection point for chain blocks, lever hoists, and wire rope hoists.

Lifting Hook Selection & Compliance

• Grade & WLL: Always select lifting hooks rated at or above the required working load limit — Grade 80 hooks are the industry standard for overhead lifting; Grade 70 hooks are for load securement and chain binding applications only.
• Swivel vs. Fixed: Swivel hooks allow load rotation without twisting the sling or chain — essential in crane and hoist applications where the load may spin. Fixed clevis hooks are used where controlled, non-rotating load connections are required.
• Self-Locking Safety Latches: Self-locking hooks from Austlift and Beaver require deliberate two-step action to release — preventing accidental load release during transport, vibration, or dynamic loading that can trip standard spring-loaded safety latches.
• Inspection & Retirement: Lifting hooks must be inspected before each use for cracks, twisting, throat opening, and latch function. Any hook showing throat deformation exceeding 10% of original width must be removed from service immediately.
