Grab Hooks with Clevis—For Lifting

Image of Product. Front orientation. Hooks. For Lifting, Grab Hook, Clevis.

Slide the clevis pin into these hooks to attach chain, no extra fittings needed. The hook has a narrow throat that’s precisely sized to grip a single link of chain. Made of powder-coated steel, they resist some corrosion.

Match your hook to your chain’s grade. The higher the chain grade, the stronger hook. For the three chain grades we offer hooks for (80, 100, 120), each hook is about 20% stronger than the last.

Note: Capacities are for vertical lifting only.
