Grade 80 Special Hook – Engineered for Unique Lifting Challenges

Key Features:

• Grade 80 Alloy Steel Construction: Heat-treated to meet ASTM A342 standards, delivering a minimum tensile strength of 800 N/mm² (116,000 psi) and a 4:1 safety factor—certified for overhead lifting.
• Custom or Specialized Design: Engineered for unique use cases—such as irregular load shapes, confined spaces, high-angle lifts, or integration with proprietary rigging systems.
• Smooth, Reinforced Profile: Minimizes wear on slings and chains while ensuring structural integrity under extreme stress.
• Permanent Markings: Clearly stamped with Working Load Limit (WLL), size, Grade 80 designation, and manufacturer ID for traceability and compliance.
• Durable Finish: Typically coated in high-visibility red or yellow powder paint for corrosion resistance and easy on-site identification.

Common Applications:

• Custom lifting fixtures in steel fabrication and shipbuilding
• Recovery and transport of oddly shaped or sensitive equipment
• Integration into automated or robotic handling systems
• Offshore, mining, and oil & gas operations requiring non-standard rigging solutions

Safety Recommendations:

• Use only with other Grade 80 components rated for the same application.
• Never exceed the marked WLL.
• Inspect before each use—retire immediately if cracks, deformation, or wear are detected.
• Consult engineering specifications for proper load orientation and use.

When standard hooks won’t do the job—trust the Grade 80 Special Hook for strength, precision, and reliability in the most demanding scenarios.
