This SecureFix Direct Clevis Self-Locking Hook is designed for professionals working with chain slings, offering a critical safety enhancement through its self-locking mechanism and secure grip latch. The primary benefit is increased operational safety, minimizing the risk of accidental disengagement. A potential caveat is the specific chain size compatibility (16mm) and the need to adhere strictly to its Safe Working Load (SWL) of 8 tonnes. Key features include Grade 80 material construction, compliance with BS EN 1677 standards, and a robust 4:1 factor of safety.

The SWL of 8 tonnes indicates the maximum load the hook can safely lift under normal operating conditions. This is a crucial safety limit that must not be exceeded.
This hook is designed for use with 16mm Grade 80 chain slings and is suitable for general heavy-duty lifting applications where load security is important. It is not intended for specialized lifting scenarios without verification.
The hook conforms to BS EN 1677 standards. A test certificate will be supplied via email, providing specific details about the hook's testing and compliance.
A factor of safety of 4:1 means the hook's minimum breaking strength is at least four times its Safe Working Load (SWL). This ensures a significant margin of safety.
Visual inspections should be conducted before each use. More thorough inspections should be performed regularly by a competent person, as per relevant safety regulations.
No, this hook is specifically designed and rated for 16mm chain size. Using it with other sizes can compromise safety and void its specifications.
The color is a finish and may vary. Minor scratches on the finish do not necessarily impact the hook's structural integrity. However, always inspect for actual damage to the material itself.
Inspect the latch mechanism for debris, damage, or distortion. Clean thoroughly and ensure it moves freely. If damage is present, the hook should be removed from service.
Immediately remove the hook from service and replace it. Deformation or significant wear compromises the hook's integrity and SWL.
Verify you are using a 16mm chain. Ensure the chain end is correctly aligned with the hook's clevis. Do not force the connection.
Stop the operation and inspect the hook and surrounding lifting gear for any foreign objects or damage. Ensure the load is balanced and not causing undue stress on a single point.
Setup: This clevis hook is designed to be directly attached to a 16mm chain sling via its clevis end. Ensure the clevis pin is correctly secured according to the chain sling manufacturer's recommendations. The hook is now ready to accept the load.
Compatibility: Primarily compatible with 16mm chain slings. It is rated for Grade 80 lifting chain. Ensure that any other components used in the lifting assembly are also rated for at least 8 tonnes SWL and are compatible with Grade 80 systems.
Care: Regular visual inspection is crucial. Check for any signs of wear, deformation, cracks, or corrosion. Clean the hook with a damp cloth; avoid abrasive cleaners. Ensure the self-locking mechanism and latch move freely and without obstruction. Periodically test the latch mechanism to confirm it is functioning correctly. Store in a dry, protected area when not in use. A test certificate will be provided via email.
