The Grade 80 Clevis Self-Locking Hook (CSK Type) is a heavy-duty, highly secure lifting component designed specifically for direct attachment to Grade 80 chain slings without the need for additional connecting links.
Automatic Self-Locking: Features an integrated safety mechanism that automatically closes and locks the latch when tension is applied, securely capturing the load and preventing accidental release even if the chain goes slack.
Direct Clevis Connection: Engineered with a built-in clevis attachment head that allows for a fast, direct, and exact-match connection to lifting chains, ensuring optimum safety and simplifying sling assembly.
Grade 80 Alloy Steel: Manufactured from high-strength, heat-treated forged alloy steel, providing the exceptional durability and toughness required for rigorous overhead lifting and rigging applications.
Wide Capacity Range: Designed to accommodate a variety of chain sizes ranging from 6mm up to 32mm, delivering versatile Working Load Limits (WLL) starting at 1.12 tons and reaching up to 31.5 tons.
Automatic Self-Locking: The hook automatically closes and locks under the weight of the load. It stays locked until manually released, ensuring total security during the lift.
Integrated Clevis: Features a built-in clevis pin for direct chain connection. Eliminates the need for intermediate connecting links, reducing weight and cost.
Positive Locking: Unlike spring latches, this positive locking mechanism withstands dynamic loading and vibration without opening.
European Design: Designed with a streamlined, snag-free profile (BK style) to minimize catching on obstructions. The trigger is recessed for protection.
Clevis Hook Comparison: Safety vs. Standard
Model
Mechanism
Safety Level
Self-Locking Hook (CSK) (This Product)
Automatic Lock (Trigger Release)
Maximum Safety Fail-Safe. Hook locks under load. Cannot accidentally open. Required for critical overhead lifting.
Sling Hook (CSR) (Standard)
Spring Latch (Push to Open)
Basic Safety Standard Use. Latch retains load but can be damaged or pushed open by accident.

⚠️ 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.
