Grade 80 Eye Self Locking Hook ESK type

No.502004

The Grade 80 Eye Self-Locking Hook (ESK Type) is a heavy-duty lifting component engineered to serve as a highly secure bottom hook in sling assemblies. It ensures safe load capture during demanding industrial lifting and material handling tasks.

  • Universal Eye Connection: Features a standard forged eye designed for reliable attachment to chain slings, wire ropes, and synthetic rigging using mechanical links.
  • Automatic Self-Locking: Equipped with a safety latch that closes automatically when tension is applied and will not release even if the lifting line goes slack.
  • High-Strength Forging: Manufactured from premium quenched and tempered Grade 80 alloy steel in strict compliance with EN 1677 lifting standards.
  • Certified Safety: Rigorously proof-load tested to 2.5 times the Working Load Limit (WLL) with a reliable 4:1 safety factor and a protective powder-coated finish.

Product Features

  • Automatic Self-Locking: The hook automatically closes and locks as soon as the load is applied. It cannot open under load, ensuring total security even during jerky crane operations.
  • European Design: Manufactured to EN 1677-3 standards. Features the classic European "BK" profile for a high strength-to-weight ratio and snag-free performance.
  • Trigger Release: The recessed trigger allows the operator to easily open the hook when the load is grounded, but prevents accidental opening during the lift.
  • Eye Connection: Designed with a fixed eye for easy attachment to wire rope slings (via thimbles) or Grade 80 chain slings (via Connecting Links).
