How to choose the right crosby® lifting hook
Match the hook to the chain size and grade, and check the throat opening fits your fittings. Grab hooks hold a chain link; slip and clevis hooks suit other hardware.
Specifications explained
- Safety factor: 4:1 — the ratio between breaking strength and working load limit (for example 3:1 or 5:1). A higher factor means more margin for shock loading and wear.
- Surface finish: Galvanized — the coating that protects the metal. Galvanized and zinc finishes resist rust; powder coat adds a tough painted layer.
- Material: Forged Carbon Steel — Steel offers high strength and abrasion resistance; check the finish for rust protection.
Before you buy
- Match chain size and grade to the binders and hooks you already use.
- Confirm the working load limit covers your share of the cargo weight.
- Measure the length needed to reach anchor points on both sides.
Safety and care
- Do not tip-load a hook; the load should sit in the bowl.
- Use hooks with latches where the load could unhook.
- Replace hooks with a widened throat or twisting.
To complete your setup, many buyers also look at g70 transport chains, shackles and ratchet chain binders — see the suggestions below.
