Key Benefits
What G80 Clevis Grab Hook U S Type Gives You
- The clevis end allows quick connection to chain links or cable eyes without requiring a separate shackle
- The grab hook mechanism holds the load securely during lifting and transport, reducing the risk of accidental disengagement
- Latch or pin closure enables field use with hand tools and allows for fast rigging setup and breakdown
- Drop-forged alloy steel construction with quench and temper heat treatment ensures high strength and impact resistance
- Powder coated or painted surface finish resists rust and wear in outdoor and industrial environments
- Marked with a stamped working load limit (WLL) and breaking load (BL) for traceability and compliance
- Compatible with G80 chains and slings, enabling a consistent load path across rigging components
Application Scenarios
Where G80 Clevis Grab Hook U S Type Is Used
- Connecting a chain sling to a load or lifting point in a construction site where quick rigging is needed
- Securing a load to a chain or cable in a port or warehouse environment with frequent rigging cycles
- Attaching a chain to a lifting eye or beam in industrial maintenance or equipment installation
- Using as a mid-point connector in a multi-leg chain rigging setup where a secure attachment is required
- Mounting on a trailer or truck frame for tie-down or load securing where a quick-release mechanism is needed

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 clevis grab hook offers a faster connection to chain links but lacks the full rotation of a shackle and is not suitable for overhead lifting |
| Screw Pin Hook | The clevis grab hook has a more secure latch closure and is less prone to accidental opening than a screw pin hook |
| Snap Hook | The clevis grab hook provides a more stable grip on chain and cable and is better suited for heavy-duty applications |
| Eye Hook | The clevis grab hook allows direct attachment to chain links without requiring a separate shackle, reducing part count |
Use Guide
How To Use And Inspect G80 Clevis Grab Hook U S Type
- Match the hook size and chain diameter to ensure proper fit and avoid overloading
- Never exceed the stamped working load limit (WLL) on the body
- Inspect the grab hook mechanism and latch for wear or deformation before each use
- Ensure the pin or latch is fully closed and secured before lifting
- Do not use for overhead lifting — this is a side-load or horizontal attachment device only
- Retire the hook if the body shows deformation, the latch is damaged, or the marking is illegible
