Grade 80 Hooks
G80 Forged Barrel Hook
A drop-forged alloy steel barrel hook in Grade 80, designed for vertical or horizontal lifting of drums and cylindrical loads. It features a smooth barrel-shaped profile to prevent rope or sling damage during handling. Used in pairs with endless chain slings, it supports a 1 tonne working load limit per pair. The hook is powder coated for corrosion resistance and proof load tested.

How It Compares With The Alternatives
An honest read on where this pattern wins and where another one would serve you better.
| Alternative | Honest Trade Off |
|---|---|
| Standard D shackle | The barrel hook provides better load distribution and sling protection for drum lifting, but a D shackle is more versatile for general rigging |
| Screw pin hook | The barrel hook has no pin to back out under vibration, unlike a screw pin hook, but lacks the adjustability of a pin-type hook |
| Round hook | The barrel shape prevents sling edge wear better than a round hook, but round hooks are lighter and used in different load geometries |
| Sling hook with eye | The barrel hook is designed specifically for endless slings and drum lifting, while an eye hook is better suited for chain or rope attachment |
Use Guide
How To Use And Inspect G80 Forged Barrel Hook
- Use only in pairs with endless chain slings for horizontal drum lifting
- Ensure the WLL is matched to the calculated load, not the crane or winch rating
- Inspect the hook for deformation, coating damage, or pin wear before each use
- Do not exceed the 4:1 design factor or apply side loads to the hook
- Keep the hook clean and dry; powder coating may degrade if exposed to harsh chemicals
- Retire the hook if the marking is illegible, the body shows distortion, or the coating is severely damaged

Answers
G80 Forged Barrel Hook FAQ
What is the working load limit for a pair of G80 barrel hooks?
The working load limit is 1 tonne per pair for the 1T size and 2 tonnes per pair for the 2T size. The WLL is stamped on the hook body.
Is the hook proof load tested?
Yes. Each batch is proof load tested. Fatigue testing is also performed to the published multiple of the working load limit for the agreed cycle count.
What safety factor does this hook carry?
A standard 4:1 design factor applies unless otherwise stated. The minimum breaking load is four times the safe working load.
What certificates are provided with the order?
A Material Test Certificate to EN 10204 3.1 is supplied on request. Every batch undergoes proof load and fatigue testing with records available.
Can you customise the tonnage marking and finish?
Yes. Custom tonnage stamping, private label marking, and powder coating in other colours are available. Sizes and configurations can be built to drawing.
How are the hooks packed for export?
Cartons on pallets as standard. We can configure the carton count and pallet pattern to suit your warehouse or retail pack. Free storage in Qingdao for two months is available.
What is the difference between this barrel hook and a standard hook?
The barrel shape prevents edge wear on slings during drum lifting. It is specifically designed for use in pairs with endless chain slings, unlike general-purpose hooks.
