The Grade 80 Clevis Grab Hook (CGH Type) is a durable rigging component designed for heavy-duty load securement and chain shortening. Its narrow throat allows for easy attachment to transport chains, keeping loads safely in place.
Direct Chain Attachment: The built-in clevis pin allows quick, secure connection directly to Grade 80 chains without requiring extra links.
Load Securement: The shallow, narrow throat securely grabs chain links, making it ideal for adjusting chain lengths in tie-down applications.
High-Strength Material: Forged from quenched and tempered Grade 80 alloy steel for maximum durability and resistance to wear.
Important Usage Note: Due to the non-cradle design, using this hook for overhead lifting typically requires a reduction in the Working Load Limit (WLL), or it may not be approved for overhead lifting at all depending on local regulations.
Chain Shortening: Designed to grab a specific chain link to shorten the leg length of a sling. The narrow throat holds the chain securely in place for balancing loads.
Integrated Clevis: Features a built-in clevis pin that attaches directly to the chain. This eliminates the need for a separate Connecting Link, reducing assembly cost and weight.
Economical Solution: A cost-effective option for general chain adjustments where the full 100% capacity of a cradle hook is not strictly required.
Capacity Note: As a non-cradle hook, the chain link is not fully supported. The Working Load Limit (WLL) of the sling must be reduced by 20% when used.
Comparison: Standard vs. Cradle Grab Hook
Model
Type
Key Difference
Standard (CGH) (This Product)
Economical
Reduced Capacity (-20%). Lowest cost, but you must reduce the sling's WLL because the link is unsupported.
Cradle (CGK) (Winged)
Performance
100% Full Capacity. Side wings support the link. No reduction in WLL required.
