Grade 80 Swivel Sling Hook with Ball Bearing

Grade 80 Steel EN 1677 Compliant Rotates Under Load

✅ Designed to Rotate Under Load

Unlike standard swivel hooks which act merely as positioning devices, the integrated ball bearing mechanism in this model allows for smooth and continuous rotation even when fully loaded, preventing chain twist and making it superior for complex rigging maneuvers.

Product Overview

The Grade 80 Swivel Sling Hook with Ball Bearing is a heavy-duty rigging component forged from high-tensile alloy steel and designed to fully swivel under load. Its integrated ball bearing swivel mechanism allows the hook to rotate freely during lifting, significantly reducing sling twist and improving load handling efficiency.

Key Features

  • Ball bearing swivel design enables full rotation under load, minimizing chain or sling twisting during operation.
  • Equipped with a heavy-duty spring-loaded safety latch that automatically closes and locks once a load is applied.
  • Manufactured from quenched and tempered Grade 80 alloy steel in accordance with EN 1677 standards.
  • Design/safety factor of 4:1.
  • Finished with a durable painted coating and marked with chain size, grade, and designation for full traceability.

Applications and Uses

Ideal for building construction sites, shipyards, crane production facilities, mining operations, and general engineering workshops where controlled load rotation is required. It is compatible with Grade 80 chain slings and works well in single-leg or multi-leg sling assemblies used in overhead lifting. The spring-loaded latch combined with the ball bearing swivel makes it particularly suited for steel fabrication, precast concrete handling, and heavy machinery rigging.

Engineering & Quality Assurance

  • Material: Quenched and Tempered Alloy Steel.
  • Proof Load: 100% proof-load tested to 2.5 times the working load limit (WLL) in compliance with EN 1677.
  • Fatigue Rated: Tested for over 20,000 load cycles to ensure long-term durability.
  • Inspection: Each hook is individually magnetic-particle (magnaflux) crack detected after heat treatment.

🌡️ Temperature Rating

Rated for operating temperatures from -40°C to 200°C without any reduction in working load limit (WLL).
