These clevis self-locking hooks are an excellent product due to the added safety feature of the self-locking mechanism and the secure latch grip. The latch will close automatically under load and the spring release trigger will not operate whilst the hook is under pressure. Dimensions: A: 215MM, B: 55MM, C: 38MM, D: 70MM, E: 290MM, F: 20MM, G: 19.5MM, H: 18.5MM. Safe Working Load (SWL): 10T. Suits Chain Size: 16MM. Material: Grade 100. Finish: Light Green (Colour May Vary). Factor Of Safety: 4:1. Conforms To: ASTM A952. A test certificate will be supplied via email.
This Clevis Self Locking Hook is designed for professionals in the lifting industry who require secure and reliable chain sling connections. Its key benefit is the self-locking mechanism with a secure latch grip, ensuring safety by automatically locking under load and resisting spring release while under pressure. A potential caveat for users is that the finish color may vary, so consistency in appearance across multiple units is not guaranteed.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
What does 'Grade 100' refer to?
Grade 100 indicates the material strength and performance class of the alloy steel used in the hook. Grade 100 is a high-strength material commonly used for overhead lifting applications.
How does the self-locking mechanism work?
The self-locking mechanism engages automatically when weight is applied to the hook. The latch is designed to close under load, and the spring release trigger is engineered not to operate while the hook is under pressure, ensuring the load remains secure.
Can I use this hook with chains other than 16MM?
No, this hook is specifically designed and tested to be compatible with 16mm chain sizes. Using it with other sizes can compromise safety and void its specifications.
What is the Factor of Safety 4:1?
A Factor of Safety (FoS) of 4:1 means the hook's minimum breaking strength is four times its Safe Working Load (SWL). This provides a significant margin of safety for lifting operations.
What information is included in the test certificate?
The test certificate typically confirms that the product has undergone testing and meets specified standards, often including details like material properties, proof load testing, and conformance to relevant regulations.
Is the light green finish standard?
The hook has a light green finish, but the color may vary. This variation does not affect the structural integrity or performance of the hook.
How do I know when to replace the hook?
Replace the hook if you observe any deformation, cracks, excessive wear, or if the self-locking mechanism or latch does not function correctly. Regular inspection is crucial.
Troubleshooting
Hook latch does not automatically lock under load.
Inspect the latch mechanism for obstructions or damage. Ensure the chain is properly seated and applying direct load to the hook.
Difficulty releasing the spring trigger even when not under load.
Clean the trigger mechanism. If the issue persists, the hook may be damaged and should be removed from service.
Visible signs of wear or deformation on the hook.
Immediately remove the hook from service and replace it with a new one. Do not attempt to repair damaged lifting gear.
Clevis pin feels loose or is difficult to secure.
Check the clevis pin and securing mechanism for damage or wear. Ensure the correct pin is used and properly secured according to manufacturer guidelines.
