Grade 80 Eye Cradle Grab Hook EGK type

No.502010

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

  • 100% Capacity Cradle: Engineered with supporting side lugs that properly cradle the engaged chain link, preventing bending and ensuring the chain retains 100% of its Working Load Limit (WLL).
  • Chain Shortening: Features a narrow throat designed specifically to grab and securely hold EN 818-2 Grade 80 chain, making it highly effective for shortening chain legs or back-hooking.
  • Universal Eye Connection: The forged eye allows for easy attachment to mechanical coupling links or master rings, providing versatile integration into various sling assemblies.
  • Heavy-Duty Forging: Manufactured from premium quenched and tempered Grade 80 alloy steel, offering exceptional durability and a reliable 4:1 safety factor for demanding overhead lifting.

Grade 80 Eye Cradle Grab Hook - EGK Type

Winged Shortener for 100% Load Capacity
Grade 80 Alloy Steel 100% WLL Capacity Winged Support EN Standard
Grade 80 Eye Cradle Grab Hook EGK

*Winged cradle supports the chain link fully

Product Features

  • 100% Load Capacity: The "Cradle" (Winged) design fully supports the chain link, preventing deformation. This allows use at the full WLL, unlike standard hooks that require a 20% reduction.
  • Chain Shortening: Essential for leveling unbalanced loads. The hook grabs a specific link to adjust the effective length of the sling leg quickly.
  • Fast Operation: The open throat design (without a safety pin) allows for rapid engagement and disengagement of the chain, making it ideal for high-frequency adjustments.
  • Eye Connection: The large Eye (Ring) allows for versatile connection via a Hammerlock (Connecting Link) to various chain sizes or wire rope assemblies.
  • Material: Forged from high-strength Grade 80 Alloy Steel, Quenched and Tempered.

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.

  • 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.
