Product Information
Full details
The SecureFix Direct Clevis Grab Hook is a heavy-duty rigging component designed for professionals and DIY enthusiasts who require reliable chain shortening for marine, industrial, or general towing applications. Its primary benefit is its high 3978KG breaking load, which provides substantial safety and durability for lifting and securing tasks, though users should note it is specifically engineered for 8mm chain compatibility rather than universal use.

FAQs
Can I use this hook for overhead lifting?
This hook is intended for rigging and securing; do not use it for overhead lifting unless it is certified as part of an overhead-rated lifting assembly.
What is the material construction of the hook?
The hook is made from heavy-duty steel treated for high corrosion resistance, making it suitable for marine and outdoor use.
Is the pull pin replaceable?
The pull pin is an integrated part of the mechanism. If the pin is damaged, the entire hook should be inspected for safety and likely replaced.
Will this work with stainless steel chains?
Yes, as long as the stainless steel chain is exactly 8mm, the hook will provide a secure grab.
What do the dimensions A, B, C, and D represent?
These represent the internal and external physical measurements of the hook (12mm, 14mm, 92mm, 11mm) to help you confirm fitment with your existing rigging equipment.
How often should I inspect the hook?
You should inspect the hook for cracks, rust, or deformation before every use.
Troubleshooting
The chain link does not fit into the hook throat.
Verify that your chain is exactly 8mm. This hook is not compatible with oversized or undersized link dimensions.
The pull pin feels stiff or difficult to move.
Clear any debris or grit from the pin area and apply a light machine oil to the pivot point.
Visible signs of deformation on the hook body.
Immediately remove from service. Deformation indicates the hook has been subjected to a load exceeding its safe working limit.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Extremely high breaking load of 3978KG
- Excellent resistance to rust and corrosion
- Robust build quality for heavy-duty use
- Easy-to-operate pull pin system

Cons
- Specific to 8mm chains only
- Not suitable for overhead lifting applications if not certified
- Requires regular inspection of the pin mechanism
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up, align the 8mm chain link with the clevis opening and insert the pull pin to secure the connection. Ensure the hook is oriented correctly so the chain sits deep within the throat of the hook. Regarding compatibility, this component is specifically sized for 8mm chains; attempting to use it with larger chains will prevent proper seating, while smaller chains may slip under load. For maintenance, rinse the hook with fresh water after exposure to saltwater, and periodically check the pull pin and clevis for signs of wear or deformation. Store in a dry environment when not in use to maintain the integrity of the protective coating.
