Grade 80 Eye Cradle Grab Hook with Safety Pin EGS Type

No.502011

The Grade 80 Eye Cradle Grab Hook with Safety Pin (EGS Type) is a heavy-duty chain shortening component designed to safely adjust lifting chain lengths. It features a locking pin mechanism that securely retains the chain, preventing accidental disengagement during dynamic rigging operations.

  • Enhanced Security: An integrated safety pin firmly locks the engaged chain link within the hook's throat, offering a vital extra layer of protection against load dropping.
  • 100% Capacity Cradle: Specially engineered supporting lugs cradle the chain link to prevent bending and distortion, allowing the assembly to maintain 100% of its rated Working Load Limit (WLL).
  • Universal Eye Attachment: Features a standard forged eye that easily and securely connects to lifting assemblies using mechanical coupling links or shackles.
  • Industrial Grade Strength: Forged from quenched and tempered Grade 80 alloy steel, providing exceptional durability and a reliable 4:1 safety factor for demanding overhead lifts.

Product Features

  • 100% Load Capacity: Designed with a "Cradle" (Wing) profile that fully supports the chain link. Unlike standard grab hooks, this allows use at 100% WLL without reduction.
  • Positive Locking: The safety pin mechanism locks the chain securely in the hook bowl, preventing accidental disengagement caused by vibration or slack conditions.
  • Versatile Eye Connection: The eye design offers maximum rigging flexibility. Connects via a Hammerlock link, facilitating easy integration into mixed-media slings or custom hardware setups.
  • High Strength: Forged from Grade 80 Alloy Steel, Quenched and Tempered for maximum toughness.

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

  • 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.
