Grade 100 Eye Self Locking Hook ESK type

No.505006

The Grade 100 Eye Self-Locking Hook (ESK Type) is an exceptionally secure bottom hook designed for use on chain slings, wire ropes, and lifting assemblies, ensuring loads remain fully captured during lifting.

  • Automatic Locking: Features a heavy-duty latch that automatically closes and locks the moment tension is applied, providing maximum safety during overhead lifts.
  • Trigger Release: Designed so it remains firmly locked under load and requires manual activation of the release trigger when unloaded to open.
  • Eye Attachment: The top eye shape enables versatile, secure connections to chain slings (using a connecting link) or directly to wire ropes and attachment points.
  • Grade 100 Strength: Forged and heat-treated from premium alloy steel, delivering at least 25% higher lifting capacity than standard Grade 80 hooks of the same size.

Grade 100 Eye Self Locking Hook

*Locks automatically under load for maximum safety

Product Features

  • Maximum Safety (Self-Locking): Features a mechanism that automatically closes and locks under load. The hook cannot open while lifting, ensuring the load remains secure even if the line goes slack or vibrates.
  • Eye Type Versatility: Designed with a circular eye connection. This makes it ideal for use with Wire Rope Slings (via thimble), Synthetic Slings (via web connector), or Chain Slings (via Connecting Link).
  • Grade 100 Strength: Forged from Grade 100 Alloy Steel, offering 25% higher lifting capacity than Grade 80 hooks of the same size.
  • Recessed Trigger: The release trigger is recessed into the hook body to prevent damage or accidental release in rugged environments.
  • Large Throat Opening: Engineered to accept a wide range of lifting points and oversized master links.
  • Standard: Compliant with ASTM A952, EN 1677-3, and proof tested to 2.5x WLL.

Grade 100 Sling Components are high-strength alloy steel lifting accessories designed for heavy-duty lifting applications. Compared with Grade 80, Grade 100 offers higher working load limits (WLL) at the same size, or the same WLL with a smaller, lighter component.

What Does "Grade 100" Mean?

  • High-Strength Alloy: Heat-treated, quenched, and tempered steel.
  • Increased Capacity: Typically 25% higher WLL than Grade 80.
  • Safety Factor: Minimum breaking force ≈ 4 × WLL.
  • Standards: EN 818-4 / EN 818-6, ASTM equivalents.

Common Sling Components

1. Master Links

Used to connect the sling to the crane hook.

  • Master Link (ML)

2. Hooks

End fittings for attaching loads.

  • Clevis Self-Locking Hook (Common)
  • Eye Self-Locking Hook
  • Sling Hook with Latch
  • Foundry Hook
  • Shortening Hook (Eye/Clevis)
3. Connecting Links

Identification & Markings

Every Grade 100 component must be clearly marked with:

  • Grade: G100 or 10
  • Manufacturer's Mark
  • Size or WLL
  • Traceability Code (Batch / Heat Number)
⚠️ Safety & Compatibility Warning
  • NEVER mix Grade 100 with Grade 80 components in the same sling assembly.
  • ✅ Use only Grade 100 chain + Grade 100 fittings together.
  • Regularly inspect for wear (>10%), cracks, deformation, heat damage, or corrosion.
