Grade 80 Eye Foundry Hook – Forged Alloy Steel, Painted Red
Engineered for Extreme Heat and Heavy-Duty Industrial Applications

Key Features:

• Grade 80 Alloy Steel Construction: Offers a minimum tensile strength of 800 N/mm² (116,000 psi) and a 4:1 safety factor, certified for overhead lifting—even in extreme conditions.
• Foundry-Specific Design: Features a robust closed eye for secure attachment and a reinforced hook throat engineered to withstand thermal cycling and mechanical shock.
• Red Painted Finish: High-visibility red coating enhances on-site safety and provides basic corrosion resistance (note: not intended for prolonged high-heat exposure—paint may discolor or burn off during use, which is normal in foundry settings).
• Permanent Markings: Clearly stamped with Working Load Limit (WLL), size, Grade 80 designation, and manufacturer ID for traceability and compliance.
• Forged & Proof-Tested: Manufactured under strict quality controls to ensure structural integrity in critical lifting scenarios.

Common Applications:

• Lifting and transporting molten metal ladles
• Handling steel ingots, billets, and castings
• Rigging in foundries, forging shops, and metal recycling facilities
• High-temperature industrial lifting where standard hooks would fail

Safety Recommendations:

• Use only with other Grade 80 components rated for high-temperature service.
• Never exceed the marked WLL.
• Inspect before each use for cracks, deformation, or heat damage—retire immediately if compromised.
• Intended for in-line (axial) lifting only—side loading is strictly prohibited.

Built for the furnace, forged for safety—the Grade 80 Eye Foundry Hook delivers unmatched reliability where heat, weight, and risk are at their peak.
