FAQs

What is the Safe Working Load (SWL) of this hook?

The Safe Working Load (SWL) for this G80 Clevis Skip Hook is 5.3 Tonnes (5300 kg).

What size chain is compatible with this hook?

This hook is designed specifically for use with G80 chains that have a 13MM diameter.

How does the spring-loaded gate ensure safety?

The spring-loaded gate is designed to automatically close and latch securely when the hook is under load. This prevents the accidental dislodging of the skip or bin during lifting operations.

What is Grade 80 material?

Grade 80 is a high-strength alloy steel commonly used for lifting chains and accessories. It offers superior tensile strength and durability compared to lower grades, making it suitable for heavy-duty applications.

Can I use this hook with chains other than G80 13MM?

No, for safety and performance reasons, this hook must only be used with G80 chains of 13MM diameter. Using incompatible chains can lead to failure and accidents.

How often should I inspect the hook?

It is recommended to inspect the hook before each use, and conduct more thorough periodic inspections according to your workplace safety regulations and the manufacturer's guidelines.

What are the overall dimensions of the hook?

The approximate dimensions are: Length (From Clevis Pin To End Of Eye): 143MM, Width: 125.25MM, Eye Width: 70MM, Eye Length (From Spring Gate): 50MM.

Troubleshooting

Spring-loaded gate is stiff or not closing properly.

Inspect the gate mechanism for dirt, debris, or corrosion. Clean thoroughly with a degreaser and lubricate with a suitable penetrating oil. If damage is present, the hook should be retired from service.

Clevis connection appears worn or elongated.

Discontinue use immediately. Worn clevis connections can compromise the integrity of the link. Replace the hook.

Hook is not securely holding the skip's lifting point.

Ensure the lifting point on the skip is undamaged and compatible with the hook's eye dimensions. Verify the chain is correctly attached and tensioned, allowing the gate to fully close and engage.

Visible rust or corrosion on the hook.

Surface rust can often be cleaned with a wire brush and protected with a light oil. Significant corrosion that affects the material's thickness or shape indicates the hook should be replaced.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional strength and durability due to Grade 80 construction.
  • Enhanced safety with a secure, spring-loaded gate that prevents accidental detachment.
  • Reliable performance for heavy-duty lifting of skips and bins.
  • Easy to attach and detach from G80 chains, saving time on job sites.
  • Corrosion-resistant, suitable for various working conditions.

Cons

  • Requires specific G80 chain of 13MM diameter for optimal use.
  • Weight of 1.893kg may be a consideration for manual handling in some scenarios.
  • Not suitable for use beyond its specified Safe Working Load of 5.3 Tonnes.
  • Regular inspection is necessary to maintain safety and performance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure you have a compatible G80 chain with a 13MM diameter.
  2. Align the clevis end of the hook with the end link of the chain.
  3. Insert a suitable pin (if required, though often integrated) to connect the hook to the chain.

Compatibility:

  • Chain Type: Strictly compatible with G80 lifting chains.
  • Chain Diameter: Designed for 13MM diameter G80 chains.
  • Load Type: Primarily intended for lifting skips and bins, or other loads requiring a secure Clevis connection within its SWL.

Care and Maintenance:

  • Inspection: Regularly inspect the hook for any signs of wear, deformation, cracks, or damage to the gate mechanism. Check the clevis connection point for wear.
  • Cleaning: Clean the hook with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. Avoid using harsh chemicals that could degrade the material.
  • Storage: Store the hook in a dry place when not in use to prevent rust and corrosion. Ensure the gate mechanism moves freely.
  • Load Limits: *Never* exceed the Safe Working Load (SWL) of 5.3 Tonnes. Overloading can lead to catastrophic failure and serious injury.
