Grade 80 Weld-On Hook: The Complete Buyer's Guide for Heavy-Duty Lifting

When you need a permanent, high-strength lifting point on a beam, excavator arm, lifting jig, or custom-fabricated rigging assembly, a Grade 80 Weld-On Hook (WOH type) is one of the most reliable solutions on the market. Unlike shackles or clevis-type hooks that rely on a pin connection, a weld-on hook is fused directly onto the structure, creating a fixed, permanent anchor point built for repeated heavy-duty use.

What is a Grade 80 Master Link? Features, Safety & Standards

A master link (often referred to as an oblong link) is a critical piece of forged alloy steel hardware used at the very top of a rigging assembly. It serves as the primary connection point between the crane hook and the lifting sling, allowing for the safe distribution of weight across single or multiple sling legs (whether chain, wire rope, or synthetic web).

Two-Leg Sling Safety Guide | Sling Angle & WLL Chart - H-Lift

A two-leg sling (also called a double-leg or bridle sling) is a lifting assembly with two separate legs that connect to a load at two points and converge at a single master link or top fitting attached to a crane or hoist. It forms a "Y" or "V" shape during a lift, distributing the load across both attachment points.

Grade 100 Chain Sling

A Grade 100 chain sling is a high-strength lifting sling made from alloy steel chain, specifically designed for overhead lifting and rigging applications in industries such as construction, manufacturing, and shipping. Grade 100 refers to the alloy chain’s strength rating, meaning it has a 25% higher working load limit (WLL) than the more common Grade 80 chains of the same size.
