Grade 80 Clevis Cradle Grab Hook CGK type

No.502012

The Grade 80 Clevis Cradle Grab Hook (CGK Type) is a heavy-duty chain shortener designed to quickly and safely adjust the length of multi-leg chain slings. Its specialized cradle design fully supports the chain link, preventing distortion and allowing the lifting assembly to safely maintain 100% of its rated capacity.

  • 100% Capacity Cradle: Engineered with supporting side lugs (wings) that properly cradle the engaged chain link, preventing bending and ensuring there is no reduction to the Working Load Limit (WLL) when used as a shortening hook.
  • Direct Clevis Attachment: Features a built-in clevis and load pin that allows for fast, secure, and direct connection to Grade 80 lifting chains without the need for additional coupling links.
  • Chain Shortening: Designed with a narrow throat that securely grabs and holds EN 818-2 Grade 80 chain, making it highly effective for adjusting chain legs or back-hooking.
  • Heavy-Duty Forging: Manufactured from premium quenched and tempered Grade 80 alloy steel in compliance with AS 3776 standards, offering exceptional durability and a reliable 4:1 safety factor for overhead lifting.

Product Features

  • 100% Load Capacity: The "Winged" cradle design prevents link deformation by supporting the chain fully. This maintains the full structural integrity of the sling (no derating required).
  • Rapid Shortening: The open throat design allows operators to quickly grab and release chain links to adjust sling length on the fly, ideal for balancing uneven loads.
  • Direct Clevis Connection: Features a built-in clevis pin for direct attachment to the chain leg. Eliminates the need for Hammerlocks, reducing cost and assembly weight.
  • Secure Grip: The precise throat dimensions ensure the chain link is held firmly in the vertical position during lifting. Forged from Grade 80 Alloy Steel.

Grade 80 Chain Fittings

G-80 Alloy Fittings / Grade 80 Sling Components

Grade 80 Sling Components are the long-established industry standard for chain slings and heavy lifting. Fully compliant with international lifting regulations and designed for durability.

What Does “Grade 80” Mean?

  • High-strength Alloy Steel
  • Min breaking force ≈ 4 × WLL
  • Heat-treated (Quenched & Tempered)
  • Standard: EN 818-4 / EN 818-6
  • Marked “G80” or “8”

Common Grade 80 Components

1. Master Links

Used to connect the sling to a crane or hoist hook.

  • Master Link (ML)
  • Master Link Assembly (Multi-leg)
  • Pear-shaped master links

2. Hooks

End fittings for secure load attachment.

  • Clevis Self-Locking Hook
  • Eye Self-Locking Hook
  • Sling Hook with Safety Latch
  • Foundry Hook
  • Grab Hook (Shortening)

3. Connecting Links

Essential hardware to join chains or fittings.

  • Clevis Connecting Link
  • Hammerlock / Coupling Link
  • Repair Link (Special use only)

4. Chain & Adjusters

The core lifting medium and adjustment tools.

  • Grade 80 Alloy Chain (Marked G80)
  • Shortening Clutch
  • Swivel (Bearing/Non-bearing)
  • Lifting Rings

Typical Applications

  • Chain slings (1 to 4 legs)
  • Construction & Civil Works
  • Manufacturing & Workshops
  • Steel Fabrication
  • General Industrial Lifting

Identification Marks

  • Grade: G80 / 8
  • Manufacturer’s ID
  • Size or WLL (Working Load Limit)
  • Traceability Batch Code

Grade 80 vs. Grade 100

Feature Grade 80 Grade 100
Strength Level Standard Industry Standard +25% Higher
Component Size Larger Smaller (for same WLL)
Weight Heavier Lighter
Cost More Cost-Effective Higher

⚠️ Safety & Compatibility Notes

  • DO NOT mix Grade 80 components with other grades (G70, G100) in the same sling leg.
  • Always match Grade 80 chain with Grade 80 fittings.
  • Observe sling angle factors and WLL reductions during lifts.
  • Inspect regularly for: Wear (>10%), Cracks/Distortion, Corrosion, or Heat Damage.
