This section is dedicated to our selection of rigging hooks. We carry hooks made for virtually every application, from foundry hooks that are designed to detach from a load easily, to heavy-duty Self-Locking Hooks that close automatically for added security.

Hooks may be used in top-loading, lifting, winching, towing, or any number of other applications. We carry Clevis Grab Hooks, Eye Hooks, Weld-On Hooks, and Clevis Slip Hooks.

When Should You Use A Weld-On Hook?

Weld-On Hooks are commonly used to attach with mobile lifting equipment. They provide an exceptionally secure grip and are popular for use with excavators.

What Is A Clevis?

What Is the Difference Between A Grade 80 Hook & A Grade 100 Hook?

The grade of a hook refers to the grade of chains that a hook is designated for. The higher the grade of a chain, the higher the workload it can take on. Grade 80 chains are more economical, whereas grade 100 chains are more heavy-duty. Grade 80 chains are commonly used in towing, while grade 100 chains are commonly used in construction, manufacturing, and heavy rigging.
