This SecureFix Direct Grade 100 Eye Type Grab Hook is designed for professionals in the lifting gear industry, particularly for use with chain slings. Its primary benefit is the ability to easily shorten chains, providing precise load positioning and enhanced safety. A potential caveat is that the finish color may vary, so it's important not to rely on color for identification. Key features include its robust Grade 100 construction for superior strength-to-weight ratio, a 10-ton Safe Working Load (SWL) capacity, and compliance with ASTM A952 standards.

Grade 100 refers to a specific strength rating for alloy steel lifting chains and components. Grade 100 products are stronger and lighter than their Grade 80 counterparts, offering improved performance and handling.
The grab hook features a design that allows a chain link to be passed through its opening and then rest securely in the hook's 'throat'. This action effectively creates a shorter loop or leg in the chain sling, allowing for precise height adjustment of the load.
The Safe Working Load (SWL) for this specific 16MM Grade 100 grab hook is 10 tons (approximately 22,046 lbs).
The finish color of the hook may vary. While some lifting gear uses color coding, you should rely on the markings and specifications (like SWL and grade) for identification and safety, not the color alone.
ASTM A952 is a standard that specifies requirements for chain slings and components. Conforming to this standard means the product has met rigorous testing and quality benchmarks for safety and performance in lifting applications.
Yes, a test certificate will be supplied via email for this grab hook, providing documentation of its compliance and specifications.
While it might physically connect, it is strongly recommended to only use Grade 100 hooks with Grade 100 chain to maintain the intended strength and safety factor of the lifting assembly. Mixing grades can compromise the overall capacity and safety.
Ensure the correct chain size (16MM) is being used. Verify that the chain link is fully seated in the 'throat' of the grab hook and not on the tip. Inspect both the chain link and the hook for any wear or damage that might prevent a secure connection.
Check for any debris or deformation in the hook's opening or the chain link. Ensure you are using the correct size chain; a chain that is too large will not fit. Straighten any bent chain links or remove obstructions.
Surface rust is common with metal products. Clean the affected area with a wire brush. If the corrosion is deep or causes pitting, remove the hook from service for inspection and potential replacement. Ensure proper storage in a dry environment to prevent future corrosion.
Immediately remove the hook from service. Deformation indicates the hook has been subjected to a load exceeding its Safe Working Load (SWL) or has experienced a significant impact. Do not attempt to straighten or repair; replace the hook.
