A Grade 80 eye shortening grab hook — a forged super-alloy-steel hook, quenched and tempered, whose narrow throat grips a chain link to shorten or adjust the effective length of a chain sling — built for EN818-2 G80 chain rigging where you need to trim sling length or level an uneven load without adding extra hardware.
The G80 Eye Shortening Grab Hook is a heavy-duty chain fitting made from forged super alloy steel with quenching and tempering, providing high strength and durability for demanding lifting applications. Designed for EN818-2 G80 chain, it allows quick and secure shortening or adjustment of chain length during lifting and rigging operations. Each hook is individually proof tested at 2.5 times the Working Load Limit (WLL) and undergoes 100% magnetic particle inspection to ensure reliable quality and safety. Available in sizes from 6–8 mm to 32–8 mm, with WLL ranging from 1.2T to 31.5T, making it suitable for a wide range of chain sling and heavy-duty lifting applications.
Forged from super alloy steel and quenched & tempered for high strength, toughness, and durability.
Individually proof tested at 2.5× WLL, with 100% magnetic particle inspection and a 4× ultimate load for enhanced safety.
Designed for EN818-2 G80 chains, ideal for chain shortening, adjustment, and heavy-duty lifting applications.
Available in 6–8 mm to 32–8 mm, with WLL from 1.2T to 31.5T. Powder-coated surface provides excellent corrosion and wear resistance.
Not every lifting job requires a fixed-length chain sling. Where chain length needs to be adjusted quickly — such as lifting, rigging, and load positioning — a G80 Eye Shortening Grab Hook provides a secure and convenient solution for shortening and adjusting G80 chain lengths.
