Grade 80 Hooks
G80 Sliding Choke Hook
A Grade 80 sliding choker hook made from alloy steel with a powder coated or painted finish, designed for adjustable lifting and rigging applications. The hook features a sliding mechanism that moves along a chain or wire rope to form a choker hitch, allowing the connection point to shift to match the load size. Available from 3/8"-1/2" to 1" in size, with working load limits from 1.6T to 5T, and marked with WLL and traceability for field use.

Key Benefits
What G80 Sliding Choke Hook Gives You
- Adjusts along chain or wire rope to match varying load dimensions without re-rigging
- Provides a secure, stable connection point for irregular or unevenly shaped loads
- Reduces the need for multiple hook sizes by adapting to different load widths
- Powder coated or painted surface resists corrosion in outdoor and industrial environments
- Grade 80 alloy steel body ensures high strength and durability under heavy lifting
- Sliding mechanism allows quick setup and repositioning during dynamic lifting operations
- Traceability marking and WLL stamped on the hook for compliance and safety checks
Application Scenarios
Where G80 Sliding Choke Hook Is Used
- Lifting irregularly shaped steel beams or structural sections where the attachment point must shift to balance the load
- Logging operations where logs of varying diameters are secured with a single adjustable choker setup
- Construction sites handling precast concrete panels or beams with inconsistent spacing
- Material handling in factories where loads vary in width and require flexible rigging points
- Offshore or marine environments where corrosion resistance and adjustable attachment are critical
- Temporary rigging setups where speed and adaptability outweigh fixed hardware requirements

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 |
|---|---|
| Fixed choker hook | The sliding version adapts to load size without re-rigging but adds a moving part that requires inspection for wear |
| Screw pin hook | The sliding choker offers better adjustability but lacks the locking feature of a screw pin, which may be preferred for static loads |
| Standard eye hook | The sliding mechanism allows dynamic load adjustment, but a fixed eye hook is simpler and has fewer moving parts |
| Swivel hook | The swivel prevents twisting but does not allow length adjustment; the sliding choker is better for variable load widths |
Use Guide
How To Use And Inspect G80 Sliding Choke Hook
- Match the stamped WLL to the calculated load, not the equipment rating
- Ensure the sliding mechanism moves freely before each use and is not seized by debris
- Position the hook so the choker hitch wraps evenly around the load without twisting
- Avoid side loading the hook; keep the pull aligned with the throat and shank
- Inspect the sliding bore and surface finish for wear or corrosion before each lift
- Retire the hook if the body shows deformation, the sliding mechanism binds, or the marking is unreadable
