FAQs

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

Grade 100 lifting gear is approximately 20% stronger than Grade 80, allowing for lighter components that offer the same or higher load capacity, making handling easier.

How do I know if this hook is safe to use?

The hook has a Safe Working Load (SWL) of 2.5 Ton and a Factory of Safety of 4:1, conforming to ASTM A952 standards. A test certificate is supplied, verifying its quality and compliance.

Can I use this hook with a 6mm or 10mm chain?

No, this hook is specifically designed and rated for use with 8mm chain only. Using it with other chain sizes will compromise its safety and performance.

What does the 'Clevis Grab Hook' designation mean?

'Clevis' refers to the attachment point where the chain is connected to the hook body, often via a pin. 'Grab' refers to the mechanism on the hook that allows it to shorten the chain by gripping a specific link.

How is the test certificate provided?

The test certificate will be supplied via email after your purchase, ensuring you have the necessary documentation for compliance and record-keeping.

What is the purpose of the light green finish?

The light green finish is primarily for identification and protection against corrosion. The colour may vary between batches.

Troubleshooting

Hook does not securely grab the chain.

Ensure you are using an 8mm chain. Verify that the chain link is correctly seated within the grab opening and that the hook is not damaged or deformed.

Difficulty attaching the chain to the clevis end.

Check for any obstructions or damage on the clevis pin and the chain's end link. Ensure the end link is within the clevis opening.

Hook shows signs of wear or damage after use.

Immediately remove the hook from service. Contact the supplier for inspection or replacement. Do not attempt to repair damaged lifting gear.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Lighter than Grade 80 components for easier handling.
  • Provides precise chain shortening for varied lifting needs.
  • High safety factor ensures operational security.
  • Durable construction for professional use.
  • Includes essential documentation (test certificate).

Cons

  • Specific to 8mm chain sizes, limiting versatility with other chain diameters.
  • Colour finish may vary, which could be a cosmetic concern in some applications.
  • Requires proper understanding of SWL limits to prevent overloading.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup: To set up the Clevis Grab Hook, simply insert the end link of the chain sling into the clevis end of the hook. Then, engage the chain link you wish to shorten by passing it through the grab opening of the hook. Ensure the chain link is seated securely within the grab mechanism. Always confirm the hook is correctly engaged before applying load.

Compatibility: This hook is specifically designed for use with 8mm chain slings. It is crucial to ensure that the chain size matches the hook's specification to maintain the stated Safe Working Load and safety factor. Using this hook with chain sizes other than 8mm will compromise its performance and safety ratings.

Care: Regularly inspect the hook for any signs of wear, damage, or deformation, including cracks, excessive pitting, or distortion of the grab mechanism. Clean the hook with a dry or slightly damp cloth; avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. Store the hook in a dry environment when not in use to prevent corrosion. Always refer to the provided test certificate for specific maintenance guidelines.
