Grade 80 Eye Grab Hook EGH type

No.502014

The Grade 80 Eye Grab Hook (EGH Type) is a durable rigging hook designed primarily for chain shortening and securing heavy loads during transport. Its standard eye connection easily attaches to chain setups, making it highly versatile for material handling.

  • Chain Shortening: Specifically designed with a narrow throat that securely grabs chain links, ideal for adjusting chain lengths or load securing.
  • Heavy-Duty Forging: Manufactured from quenched and tempered Grade 80 alloy steel to provide reliable strength and resistance to wear.
  • Certified Safety: Proof-load tested with a strict 4:1 safety factor and finished with a protective powder coating against corrosion.
  • Usage Note: Due to the non-cradle design, using this hook for overhead lifting operations requires a capacity reduction of approximately 20% compared to the chain's straight-pull Working Load Limit.

Grade 80 Eye Grab Hook - EGH Type

Standard Economical Chain Shortener
Grade 80 Alloy Steel Eye Connection Reduce WLL by 20% EN Standard
Grade 80 Eye Grab Hook

*Designed to grab a chain link to shorten leg

Product Features

  • Chain Shortening: Essential for balancing irregular loads. The hook grabs a specific link to adjust the effective length of the sling leg quickly and securely.
  • Eye Connection: Features a large eye designed for connection via a Hammerlock (Connecting Link). Allows for integration with wire rope, webbing, or larger master links.
  • Narrow Throat: The throat opening is precisely machined to slot between chain links, holding the chain securely in place without sliding.
  • Economical Design: A cost-effective solution compared to Cradle Grab Hooks, suitable for general shortening applications.
  • Usage Note: Important: As a standard grab hook (non-cradle), the Working Load Limit (WLL) of the chain sling must be reduced by 20% when used with this hook.
Shortener Comparison: Standard vs. Cradle
Model Design Load Capacity Impact
Standard Grab (EGH)
(This Product)
Economical Reduced WLL (-20%).
Because the chain link is not fully supported by wings, you must derate the sling capacity by 20% for safety.
Cradle Grab (EGS)
(Heavy Duty)
Winged / Cradle 100% WLL.
Side wings fully support the link, allowing the chain to be used at its full capacity without reduction.

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

  • 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

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
