• Clearly marked working load limits and grade identification
• Available in multiple hook configurations for different applications
• Compatible with Grade 80 chain fittings and rigging accessories

For complete lifting systems, pair your hooks with related rigging products including chain slings, lifting slings, and rigging shackles.

How to Select the Right Grade 80 Hook

Choosing the correct Grade 80 rigging hook depends on your lifting application and sling configuration. When selecting lifting hooks, consider:

• Chain size compatibility
• Required working load limit (WLL)
• Hook style and application
• Standard latch vs. self-locking hook designs

Grab hooks are ideal for shortening chain lengths, while sling hooks are commonly used for direct lifting connections. Self-locking hooks provide additional security by automatically engaging under load, helping reduce accidental disengagement during lifting operations.
