Grade 80 Swivel Hook SWH type

No.502016

The Grade 80 Swivel Hook (SWH Type) is a heavy-duty lifting component designed to naturally align with the load during lifting operations. Its built-in swivel mechanism prevents the lifting chain or wire rope from twisting, significantly reducing dangerous torque and stress on the rigging assembly.

  • Swivel Articulation: Features a rotating swivel eye that allows the hook to freely turn and correctly align with the direction of the pull before lifting commences.
  • High-Strength Material: Forged from premium quenched and tempered Grade 80 alloy steel, providing exceptional durability for rigorous industrial and construction environments.
  • Certified Safety: Rigorously proof-load tested to guarantee reliable performance, featuring a strict 4:1 safety factor for secure overhead lifting.
  • Corrosion Resistance: Finished with a durable, highly visible powder coating that protects against rust and extends the operational life of the hook.

Product Features

  • Swivel Positioning: Allows the hook to rotate 360° to face the load eye perfectly. Eliminates the frustration of twisting chains during rigging setup.
  • Twist Prevention: By rotating freely during attachment, the hook relieves torque on the rigging line, protecting wire ropes from unlaying and chains from kinking.
  • Safety Latch: Equipped with a heavy-duty spring-loaded safety latch to ensure the load remains secure and prevent accidental disengagement during lifting.
  • Forged Strength: Manufactured from Grade 80 Alloy Steel, Quenched and Tempered. Designed for reliable lifting performance in general industrial applications.

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.
