A Grade 80 European-type eye self-locking hook — a forged super-alloy-steel hook, quenched and tempered, fitted with an automatic spring-loaded latch that keeps the throat locked under load and opens only when deliberately released — built for EN818-2 G80 chain slings in critical lifting where the load must not slip out or accidentally disengage.
The G80 European Type Eye Self-Locking Hook combines a forged super alloy steel body with a reliable automatic locking mechanism, ensuring enhanced safety and security during lifting operations. Available in working load limits (WLL) from 1.2 T to 31.5 T, it is specifically designed to fit EN818-2 G80 chains for various rigging, crane, and industrial applications where accidental unhooking must be prevented under load.
It features 100% magnaflux crack detection and is individually proof tested at 2.5 times the working load limit with certification, offering an ultimate load of 4 times the working load limit — see the specification table below to confirm which size fits your lifting requirements.
Material & Processing: Forged from super alloy steel and processed with quenching and tempering to ensure high strength and exceptional toughness.
Quality Control: Features 100% magnaflux crack detection, and is individually proof tested at 2.5 times the working load limit with certification.
Load Performance: Working load limit (WLL) ranges from 1.2 T to 31.5 T, with an ultimate load of 4 times the working load limit to ensure safety in heavy-duty operations.
Compatibility & Coating: Perfectly suitable for EN818-2 G80 chains. The surface finish is powder plastified in standard red (RAL3020) or yellow (RAL1003), with other colors available upon request.
Not every lifting application allows for standard open hooks or unsecured rigging. Where heavy loads are suspended, hoisted, or transported—on construction sites, industrial rigging lines, or overhead crane systems—an accidental unlatching can lead to catastrophic failure. A self-locking hook automatically engages under load to prevent detachment, offering enhanced security and peace of mind. The G80 European Type Eye Self-Locking Hook is built for exactly that: dependable, heavy-duty self-locking safety.
Which G80 hook model fits your job? If your setup requires compatibility with EN818-2 G80 chains for standard overhead lifting, our wide range of working load limits (WLL from 1.2 T to 31.5 T) has you covered. If you need standard heavy-duty rigging with compact dimensions, the smaller models (such as 6-8 or 7/8-8) deliver high mobility. If your operation demands maximum capacity for industrial mega-lifts, the larger specifications (up to 32-8, 31.5 T) provide ultimate strength.

Confirm that your lifting system uses EN818-2 G80 chains to ensure a proper and secure fit.
Choose from 1.2 T to 31.5 T based on your heaviest rated load requirements, plus an adequate safety margin.
Verify the hook's structural dimensions (such as M, K, D, R, H, and E) to ensure it fits your rigging space and connection hardware.
Standard models feature a powder plastified finish in Red (RAL3020) or Yellow (RAL1003). Specify if other custom colors are required.
