Yoke Lifting Hardware for Australian Rigging and Lifting
Yoke is the Taiwanese-engineered brand of premium lifting hardware widely specified across Australian rigging, lifting, and crane operations. The Yoke range covers shackles, hooks, master links, swivels, eye bolts, and the broader rigging hardware that demands engineered compliance with lifting standards. For Australian rigging contractors, lifting equipment users, and engineers responsible for compliant lifting hardware, Yoke delivers the certification documentation and engineered performance critical work demands. AIMS Industrial supplies the Yoke range to trade and industrial customers nationwide.

Why Yoke
The engineered manufacturing and certification matter for lifting hardware. Yoke products are supplied with manufacturer test certificates, working load limit (WLL) tags, batch traceability, and full compliance documentation that Australian lifting compliance audits require. For workshops and rigging contractors maintaining the documentation that workplace safety obligations demand, Yoke components fit cleanly into the broader compliance system. The Taiwanese engineering also delivers consistent product quality — dimensional accuracy, finish quality, and material consistency that supports reliable performance over years.
Compliance — AS 3776 and AS 2550
Australian lifting hardware must comply with AS 3776 (lifting components) and the broader AS 2550 lifting safety standards. Yoke products are supplied compliant with AS 3776 where applicable, with traceable manufacturer certification. The using workplace remains responsible for the broader inspection regime (initial inspection, periodic inspection, post-event inspection) and for ensuring competent persons supervise the lifting operations.
Where Yoke earns its place
- Crane and rigging operations — shackles, hooks, and master links in lifting assemblies
- Chain sling manufacture and repair — Grade 80 and 100 components for sling assemblies
- Engineering and machinery installation — lifting points and engineered hardware for equipment installation
- Mining and construction — heavy-duty lifting hardware in demanding environments
- Marine and offshore applications — engineered rigging hardware where corrosion resistance is also required
