Product Information
Full details
The SecureFix Direct 13mm swivel autolock hook is engineered for professionals in the lifting gear industry who require high-strength, reliable connections for chain slings. Its primary benefit is the superior load-bearing capacity of its Grade 100 steel, which provides a lighter weight alternative to traditional Grade 80 hooks without sacrificing safety. However, users should note that the self-locking mechanism requires clear, unobstructed operation to ensure it closes fully under load.
