Product Information
Full details
The SecureFix Direct 8mm swivel autolock hook is designed for professional riggers and industrial operators who require a reliable and high-strength component for chain sling assemblies. The primary benefit of this Grade 100 hook is its superior load-bearing capacity compared to its weight, combined with an automatic locking mechanism that enhances safety during lifting operations. A significant caveat is that users must ensure the 2.5-tonne working load limit is never exceeded and that the hook is inspected for wear before every use, as it is a critical load-bearing component.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure safe operation, always verify that your chain sling system uses compatible 8mm chain links designed for Grade 100 fittings.
- Inspection: Before every lift, inspect the hook body, the swivel, and the latch for signs of deformation, cracks, or excessive wear.
- Load Alignment: Ensure the load is centered in the seat of the hook to avoid side loading, which can compromise the structural integrity.
- Storage: Keep the hook in a clean, dry environment away from corrosive chemicals to prevent rust and material degradation.
- Documentation: Keep your emailed test certificate on file for your safety audits and compliance records.
