The two main types of lashing hooks are the slip hook and grab hook. The primary difference between the two types is a slip hook has an open throat that allows it to slide freely while grab hooks, on the other hand, have a closed throat and are designed to hold objects in place rather than move them.
Grab hooks ‘grab’ onto a chain link and are designed for grasping a chain. On the other hand, the slip hook allows the chain to ‘slip’ through the throat of the chain.
Tegral’s grab and slip hooks are clevis hooks, which means the hook is fastned onto the chain using a bolt and split pin assembly. This ensures that the chain and hook become a rated assembly.
Tegral’s grab & slip hooks are the ideal restraint solution for use with Grade 70 chain. The grab hooks have the benefit of a cradle built into the hook to achieve full lashing capacity. Tegral’s chain hooks are manufactured to the Australian & New Zealand Standard AS/NZS 4344:2001 from forged steel, quenched, tempered and gold zinc plated. Each hook is marked with chain size, lashing capacity, grade, batch numbered, and branding for traceability.
