Grade 80 Swivel Self Locking Hook SSK type

No.502006

The Grade 80 Swivel Self-Locking Hook (SSK Type) is a highly reliable rigging component essential for chain sling assemblies requiring secure load capture. It features a versatile swivel eye and an automatic locking mechanism, making it ideal for demanding industrial and construction lifting tasks.

  • 360° Positioning: Features a swivel eye that allows for full 360-degree rotation, enabling precise positioning and alignment of the hook prior to lifting operations.
  • Automatic Locking: Equipped with a heavy-duty latch that automatically closes when tension is applied and securely remains locked under load, preventing accidental release.
  • High-Strength Forging: Manufactured from premium quenched and tempered Grade 80 alloy steel in strict compliance with European EN 1677 safety standards.
  • Certified Safety & Durability: Rigorously proof-load tested to 2.5 times the Working Load Limit (WLL) with a reliable 4:1 safety factor, and treated with a durable, corrosion-resistant powder coating.

Product Features

  • Automatic Locking: The hook automatically closes and locks as soon as the load is lifted. It cannot open under load, providing maximum safety for critical overhead operations.
  • Swivel Positioning: The rotating eye aligns the hook with the load point before lifting. This prevents the chain or wire rope sling from twisting or kinking during setup.
  • Trigger Release: Features a recessed trigger mechanism that is easy to operate (even with gloves) when releasing the load, but fully protected against accidental activation.
  • Rotation Note: This is a Positioning Swivel. It is designed to align the hook, NOT to rotate continuously while under full load (for that application, use the Bearing Swivel SSB type).

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

Essential hardware to join chains or fittings.

  • 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

  • Chain slings (1 to 4 legs)
  • 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.
