FAQs

What is the Safe Working Load (SWL) for this hook?

The Safe Working Load (SWL) for this 13mm Grade 80 Clevis Grab Hook is 5.3 Tonne.

What does 'Grade 80' mean?

Grade 80 (G80) refers to a specific standard for heat-treated alloy steel used in lifting chains and fittings, indicating high strength and durability suitable for overhead lifting applications.

Can I use this hook with a chain size other than 13mm?

No, this hook is specifically designed and rated for 13mm chain only. Using it with a different chain size will compromise its safety rating and is strictly not recommended.

What is a Clevis Grab Hook used for?

A Clevis Grab Hook is used to shorten a chain sling. It allows users to adjust the effective length of the chain by grabbing a specific link, enabling precise control over load positioning and height.

Will I receive proof of the hook's quality?

Yes, a test certificate will be supplied via email with your purchase, confirming the hook meets the specified standards.

What does a 4:1 factor of safety mean?

A 4:1 factor of safety means the hook's minimum breaking strength is four times its Safe Working Load (SWL). This provides a significant margin of safety under normal operating conditions.

How should I maintain this hook?

Regular visual inspections for damage, proper cleaning, and dry storage are essential. Always refer to the product's test certificate and relevant safety standards for detailed maintenance guidelines.

Troubleshooting

Hook does not securely grab the chain.

Ensure the correct chain size (13mm) is being used. Check for debris or damage in the hook's grabbing mechanism or on the chain links that may prevent proper engagement.

Visible damage or deformation on the hook.

Immediately remove the hook from service. Do not attempt to repair. Replace with a new, certified hook.

Chain link does not fit properly into the hook.

Verify that the chain is indeed 13mm. If the chain size is correct, inspect both the chain link and the hook for any manufacturing defects or damage that might be obstructing the fit.
