An S hook in black plated steel for bus and coach interior fittings, used for hanging straps, bags and equipment inside a vehicle. Interior transport hardware is loaded unpredictably and inspected regularly, so the hook has to be both strong and tidy looking.
Spring steel resists the slow opening that mild steel hooks suffer under repeated loading.
Matches the dark interior hardware used in most transport fit-outs.
Each end of the S is formed for what it engages, which may be a rail at the top and a strap at the bottom.
Inspect hook openings at scheduled vehicle servicing. A hook that has started to open should be replaced rather than bent back, since bending it back work hardens the wire further.

Against a formed sheet metal bracket, an S hook is cheaper and allows the hung item to be removed, at the cost of a less secure fixing.
Yes, and usually they should be, since the rail and the item being hung are rarely the same size.
For passenger-facing fittings it is worth considering. Tell us and we will form it accordingly.
For a dry interior, yes. For under-vehicle or exterior use, specify galvanising or dacromet.
Send your drawing, dimensions or a sample. We will confirm the specification and come back with a price and a lead time.
