Eye Hooks

On an eye hook, a chain or fittings are welded for a permanent connection to the sling. With an eye hook, you get far more flexibility movement, and ergonomics to position the hook and attach it to the load.

Clevis Hooks

A clevis fastener is a fastener system consisting of a clevis and clevis pin. The clevis is a U-shaped piece that has holes at the end of prongs to accept the clevis pin. The clevis pin is like a bolt but is only partially threaded or unthreaded with a cross-hole for a split pin

Swivel Hooks

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:

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.

True Swivel Hook with Bearing – This type of swivel hook has a bearing inside that allows the hook to rotate freely under load. Top fitting swivels and pivots to allow the load to rotate to prevent twisting of the rigging.
