Grade 80 Clevis Cradle Grab Hook with Safety Pin, CGS Type

No.502013

The Grade 80 Clevis Cradle Grab Hook with Safety Pin (CGS Type) is a heavy-duty chain shortener designed to adjust lifting chain lengths securely. The addition of a safety pin ensures the chain remains firmly engaged, preventing accidental disengagement during operations.

  • Enhanced Security: Features an integrated safety pin that locks the chain into place, offering an extra layer of protection against accidental load release.
  • Cradle Design: Engineered with supporting lugs that cradle the chain link, preventing chain distortion and allowing the assembly to maintain 100% of its Working Load Limit (WLL).
  • Direct Clevis Attachment: Built-in clevis pin allows for quick, secure connection directly to Grade 80 lifting chains without needing additional coupling links.
  • Heavy-Duty Construction: Forged from quenched and tempered Grade 80 super alloy steel, providing exceptional durability and a reliable 4:1 safety factor for overhead lifting.

Product Features

  • 100% Load Capacity: Features "wings" that cradle the chain link perfectly. This prevents link deformation, allowing the hook to be used at the full Working Load Limit (no reduction needed).
  • Positive Locking: Equipped with a robust safety pin mechanism across the throat. This prevents the chain from accidentally jumping out if the load becomes slack.
  • Clevis Connection: Connects directly to the Grade 80 chain leg, forming an integral, secure part of the sling assembly. Eliminates the need for extra connecting links.
  • Chain Shortening: Essential for quickly adjusting the leg length of chain slings to level unbalanced loads.

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.
