Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the maximum working load limit for this hook?

This hook is designed for winches up to 14,000lb. While its minimum breaking force is 28,806lb, it should be used within the context of the equipment it's attached to and for its intended G70 applications.

Can this hook be used for overhead lifting?

No, this hook has a G70 rating, which is specifically for towing and recovery. It is not designed or certified for overhead lifting applications.

What material is the hook made from?

The hook is constructed from high-quality forged steel.

How do I maintain the hook's corrosion resistance?

After cleaning, ensure the hook is dry. Apply a light coat of protective oil or a rust inhibitor periodically, especially if stored in a damp environment.

What size clevis pin is required?

This is a 3/8 inch clevis hook, typically requiring a 3/8 inch clevis pin, though compatibility should be verified with the specific pin and attachment point.

How often should I inspect the hook?

Inspect the hook before and after each use for any signs of damage, wear, or distortion. Regular visual inspections are crucial for safety.

Troubleshooting

Hook is difficult to attach or detach.

Ensure the clevis pin is clean and free of debris. Lubricate the pin and the hook's clevis eyelet if necessary. Check for any bending or damage to the pin or hook.

Rust or corrosion is visible.

Clean the affected area thoroughly. Apply a rust inhibitor or a light coating of oil to protect the surface. If corrosion is deep, the hook's integrity may be compromised and should be replaced.

Clevis pin feels loose.

Ensure the safety clip is correctly installed and fully engaged. If the pin or hole is worn, preventing a snug fit, replace the pin and consider replacing the hook if significant wear is present.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional strength for demanding recovery and towing.
  • Durable forged steel construction for longevity.
  • Corrosion resistance enhances usability in harsh environments.
  • High safety margin due to significantly high breaking force.
  • Standard clevis design ensures broad compatibility.

Cons

  • Not rated for overhead lifting (G70 is for towing/recovery).
  • Requires compatible clevis pin for attachment.
  • Weight can be a factor in portable setups.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: To attach the hook, ensure you have a compatible clevis pin and safety clip. Insert the pin through the clevis end of the hook and the corresponding eyelet on your winch line or strap. Secure the pin with the provided clip to prevent accidental dislodging. Always ensure the pin and clip are properly seated before applying load.

Compatibility: This 3/8 inch hook is designed for use with winch lines, recovery straps, and chains with compatible eyelet sizes. It is rated for winches up to 14,000lb. Ensure any equipment it connects to is also rated appropriately for the load.

Care: After each use, inspect the hook for any signs of wear, cracks, or deformation. Clean off any dirt, mud, or debris with a damp cloth. For long-term storage, especially in humid environments, consider applying a light coat of lubricant to the clevis pin area to prevent seizing. Store in a dry place.
