Grade 100 Half Link Shortening Hook with Clevis Attachment HSC type

No.505014

The Grade 100 Half Link Shortening Hook with Clevis Attachment (HSC Type) is a streamlined rigging component designed to provide safe, non-destructive chain shortening directly inline with the chain sling leg.

  • Optimized Inline Design: Specifically engineered to attach directly to the chain leg, avoiding the need for an extra chain connector or a separate section of shortening chain.
  • Direct Clevis Mount: The integrated clevis pin provides a fast, secure, and dedicated connection directly to Grade 100 lifting chain.
  • Cradle Support: Features a specialized throat that cradles the chain link evenly, allowing operators to adjust leg lengths without reducing the sling's Working Load Limit (WLL).
  • Grade 100 Strength: Forged from high-quality alloy steel, delivering approximately 25% more lifting capacity than comparable Grade 80 shortening hooks.

Product Features

  • Streamlined Inline Design: Unlike standard grab hooks that protrude outwards, the HSC "Half Link" design keeps the chain aligned with the load axis. This minimizes the risk of the shortener snagging on obstacles during lifting.
  • Deep Chain Pocket: Features a specially designed clutch pocket that fully engages the chain link. This provides a more secure grip than a standard hook tip and reduces wear on the chain.
  • Clevis Attachment: Integrated clevis pin allows for direct connection to Grade 100 Chain, creating a robust and semi-permanent assembly.
  • Compact & Lightweight: The "Half Link" geometry offers a reduced profile, making it ideal for rigging setups where space and weight are critical factors.
  • Grade 100 Strength: Manufactured from high-strength Grade 100 Alloy Steel, offering 25% higher Working Load Limit than Grade 80 equivalents.
  • Standard: Compliant with EN 1677-1 and ASTM A952.
Shortener Style: Clutch vs. Grab Hook
Model Profile Advantage
Half Link Clutch (HSC)
(This Product)
Inline / Streamlined Snag-Free.
Chain sits inside the body. Doesn't catch on clothes or obstacles. Best for dragging or complex lifts.
Grab Hook (CGK/SCG)
(Standard)
Protruding Hook Quick Access.
Easier to engage/disengage with gloved hands, but the hook tip sticks out and can snag.

Grade 100 Sling Components are high-strength alloy steel lifting accessories designed for heavy-duty lifting applications. Compared with Grade 80, Grade 100 offers higher working load limits (WLL) at the same size, or the same WLL with a smaller, lighter component.

What Does "Grade 100" Mean?

  • High-Strength Alloy: Heat-treated, quenched, and tempered steel.
  • Increased Capacity: Typically 25% higher WLL than Grade 80.
  • Safety Factor: Minimum breaking force ≈ 4 × WLL.
  • Standards: EN 818-4 / EN 818-6, ASTM equivalents.

Identification & Markings

Every Grade 100 component must be clearly marked with:

  • Grade: G100 or 10
  • Manufacturer's Mark
  • Size or WLL
  • Traceability Code (Batch / Heat Number)
⚠️ Safety & Compatibility Warning
  • NEVER mix Grade 100 with Grade 80 components in the same sling assembly.
  • ✅ Use only Grade 100 chain + Grade 100 fittings together.
  • Regularly inspect for wear (>10%), cracks, deformation, heat damage, or corrosion.
