FAQs

What is the working load limit (SWL) for this hook?

The Safe Working Load (SWL) for this 10MM Grade 100 Clevis Self Locking Hook is 4 tonnes.

What does 'Grade 100' signify?

Grade 100 refers to a higher strength category of alloy steel used for lifting chains and fittings, offering superior tensile strength and durability compared to lower grades.

How does the self-locking mechanism work?

The clevis hook features a mechanism that automatically locks when the load is applied, preventing accidental opening. The spring-loaded grip latch ensures it stays securely closed and cannot be released while under pressure.

Can I use this hook with any chain size?

No, this hook is specifically designed to be compatible with 10MM chain size.

What is the factor of safety for this hook?

The hook has a factor of safety of 4:1, meaning it is designed to withstand four times its rated Safe Working Load before failure.

Will I receive a test certificate with my purchase?

Yes, a test certificate will be supplied via email to confirm the hook's compliance and specifications.

What is the color of the hook?

The hook is typically finished in light green, but please note that the color may vary.

Troubleshooting

Hook latch does not close automatically.

Check for obstructions in the latch mechanism. Ensure the hook is not under any residual tension. Clean and lightly lubricate the latch pivot if necessary.

Self-locking mechanism appears stiff or difficult to engage.

Inspect the clevis connection for debris or deformation. Clean the hook thoroughly. If the issue persists, consider replacement as the locking mechanism may be compromised.

Visible signs of wear or deformation on the hook.

Immediately remove the hook from service. Such damage compromises its integrity and safety factor. Replace with a new, certified hook.

Hook does not feel secure under load.

Verify that the correct chain size (10MM) is used. Ensure the load is distributed evenly and does not exceed the 4-tonne SWL. Re-inspect the latch and locking mechanism for proper engagement.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Enhanced safety due to automatic locking and secure grip latch.
  • High-strength Grade 100 material for durability.
  • Conforms to industry standards (ASTM A952).
  • Reliable performance with a 4:1 factor of safety.
  • Includes a test certificate for verification.

Cons

  • Color finish may vary, which could be a concern for specific aesthetic requirements.
  • Primarily designed for specific lifting gear applications, not general use.
  • Requires careful matching with appropriate chain size (10MM).
  • Potential for wear on the locking mechanism over extensive use.
  • Requires proper training to ensure correct attachment and use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the hook is compatible with the specific chain size (10MM) and rated for the intended load.
  2. Attach the clevis end of the hook securely to the master link or other connecting hardware as per standard rigging procedures.
  3. Verify that the grip latch closes fully and the self-locking mechanism is engaged before applying the load.

Compatibility:

  • Chain Size: This hook is specifically designed for use with 10MM chain.
  • Load Capacity: Ensure the total load does not exceed the hook's Safe Working Load (SWL) of 4 tonnes, considering the chain and other rigging components.
  • Environment: Suitable for general industrial lifting; avoid use in highly corrosive environments unless appropriate protective measures are taken.

Care:

  • Inspection: Regularly inspect the hook for signs of wear, deformation, cracks, or damage to the locking mechanism and latch. Discontinue use immediately if any damage is found.
  • Cleaning: Clean the hook with a dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals that could degrade the material or compromise the finish.
  • Lubrication: Lightly lubricate the spring mechanism of the latch if it becomes stiff, using an appropriate industrial lubricant. Ensure excess lubricant is wiped off to prevent dirt accumulation.
  • Storage: Store in a clean, dry place away from excessive moisture and corrosive substances when not in use.
