Swivel Sling Hook

SWIVEL SLING HOOK

Introducing the Swivel Sling Hook in Saudi Arabia, a versatile and reliable solution designed for coupling with Grade 80 alloy chain or wire rope in overhead lifting operations. Crafted from high-quality G80 alloy steel, quenched and tempered for maximum durability, this hook is engineered to meet and exceed your lifting needs in various applications.

There are two types of swivel hooks and the user should be aware of the type of swivel hook that they’re using before lifting a load into the air:

1. Positioning Swivel Hook – This type of hook swivels to allow the rigger to properly align the hook during connection to the load. This type of hook is NOT designed to rotate while under load and is only to be used when you need to position the hook onto the pick point.
2. True Swivel Hook with Bearing – This type of swivel hook has a bearing inside that allows the hook to rotate freely under load. The top fitting swivels and pivots to allow the load to rotate to prevent twisting of the rigging.
3. Any hook that is designed to have a latch, should have the latch installed
4. New slings are sold with the latch installed unless the customer requests no latch
5. If customers inquire about the use of a latch on a hook, we may recommend for they to consider several OSHA standard interpretations

We advise that the end user must evaluate the work activity for the safety of their employees. If the activity makes the use of the latch impractical, unnecessary, or more dangerous, then the end user may choose to eliminate the latch. It is also recommended that each lifting activity is considered independently as far as the use of a hook latch is concerned.

Key Features:

1. Premium Material: Made from durable G80 alloy steel, ensuring strength and reliability in demanding lifting operations.
