FAQs

What is the main advantage of Grade 100 over Grade 80 lifting gear?

Grade 100 lifting gear offers a higher working load limit for the same size and is approximately 20% stronger and lighter than Grade 80, providing improved safety margins and handling ease.

What does SWL stand for and what is it for this hook?

SWL stands for Safe Working Load. For this specific hook (SFG10CGH16), the SWL is 10 Tons.

Can this hook be used with chain sizes other than 16mm?

No, this hook is specifically designed and rated for 16mm chain. Using it with different sizes can compromise safety and performance.

What does the 'Factory Of Safety - 4:1' mean?

This indicates the hook has been tested to withstand at least four times its Safe Working Load before failure, ensuring a significant safety margin for intended use.

Will I receive a test certificate with my order?

Yes, a test certificate will be supplied via email for this product, confirming its compliance and quality.

How should I inspect the hook before use?

Visually inspect for cracks, significant deformation, excessive wear, pitting, or corrosion. Check that the clevis pin moves freely if applicable and that the hook opening is not distorted.

What is the purpose of the light green finish?

The light green finish serves as a visual identifier and may assist in tracking or batch identification. Note that the color may vary.

Troubleshooting

Hook slips under load

Ensure the chain is correctly seated within the hook's curve and that the correct chain size (16mm) is used. Verify no damage or deformation is present on the hook or chain.

Clevis connection is difficult to attach

Check for any debris or damage on the clevis end or the attachment point. Ensure the dimensions are compatible.

Hook shows signs of wear or damage

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

Load feels unstable

Re-evaluate the sling configuration and ensure the load is centered. Confirm the hook is properly engaged to shorten the chain and is not the cause of imbalance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the hook is compatible with the specific 16mm chain size you are using.
  2. Attach the clevis end of the hook directly to the master link or end ring of your chain sling.
  3. Engage the chain through the hook's opening to shorten the sling. Ensure the chain is securely seated within the hook's curve to prevent slipping.
  4. Verify the load does not exceed the 10 Ton Safe Working Load (SWL) limit.

Compatibility:

  • This hook is designed for use with 16mm Grade 100 chain.
  • It is intended for use in chain sling assemblies and is not a standalone lifting device.

Care:

  • Inspect the hook regularly for signs of wear, cracks, deformation, or corrosion before each use.
  • Clean the hook with a dry cloth after use. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
  • Store in a dry environment, away from corrosive substances.
  • If any damage is noted, the hook must be removed from service immediately.
