Self-Color Italian Shank Hook – Precision-Engineered for Professional Rigging

Key Features:

• Self-Color Finish: The hook retains the natural color of forged steel (typically black oxide or bare metal), offering a clean, professional appearance without painted coatings that can chip or obscure cracks.
• Italian Shank Design: The gracefully curved shank provides optimal load distribution and allows smooth rotation of slings or chains, minimizing stress points and preventing kinking.
• Forged Alloy Steel Construction: Made from high-tensile alloy steel and heat-treated for maximum strength, toughness, and fatigue resistance.
• Wide Throat Opening: Facilitates easy attachment to chains, D-rings, or other rigging hardware, even in tight or awkward spaces.
• Safety-Compliant: Often marked with Working Load Limit (WLL), size, and manufacturer ID; suitable for use in Grade 80 or equivalent systems when rated accordingly.

Common Applications:

• Lifting and hoisting in steel fabrication and construction
• Marine rigging and dockside operations
• Recovery and transport securement
• Integration into multi-leg slings and custom rigging assemblies

Safety Note:

Always inspect the hook before use for signs of deformation, cracks, or excessive wear. Never exceed the rated WLL. Use only with compatible hardware of the same grade and strength class.
