Safety Hook - SLR G80 Eye 18/20mm 12.5T is a purpose-built lifting hook designed for demanding rigging tasks where reliability, visibility, and safety matter. Featuring a G80-grade eye and a robust latch, this hook is engineered to handle heavy loads with a clear, durable WLL of 12.5 tonnes, making it a trusted choice for professional lifting applications.

Key specifications and safety notes you need to know:

• Working Load Limit (WLL): 12.5 tonnes, suitable for high-capacity overhead lifting, crane work, and heavy-duty sling assemblies.
• Size / opening: 18/20 mm specification, designed to accommodate common lifting hardware in standard industrial setups.
• Choking consideration: Choking will reduce the rated WLL by 20 percent, so plan loads accordingly and ensure choke conditions are avoided where possible.
• Latch note: Latches are not load rated for choking applications, so use with correct rigging practices and avoid choking scenarios that could compromise safety.
• Standards & compliance: Conforms to EN818.4, EN1677-1 and AS3776; manufactured to meet NZ Department of Labour code of practice and LEENZ guidelines for safe lifting.
• Markings & traceability: Components display the manufacturer brand, batch/testing number, size, and rating for quick verification on site.
• Brand & origin: Supplied by HES NZ LTD, with direct-from-supplier shipping to ensure authentic, standards-aligned hardware.

This safety hook excels in environments where visibility and reliability are essential—from construction and warehousing to steel fabrication and rigging yards. The eye design provides a secure, stable connection point for slings and chains, while the high-visibility finish helps operators quickly confirm engagement and status even in low-light or busy work zones.

Practical use scenarios:

• Overhead lifting in industrial facilities where heavy loads require a trustworthy G80 hook with a dependable latch.
• Part of a chain or wire rope sling assembly for transporting bulky materials, machinery components, or structural elements.
• Rigging setups that demand precise load control, with clear markings to verify WLL and size before lift.

Why this hook stands out:

• Durable G80 construction: Delivers the strength needed for demanding lift tasks while meeting strict international standards.
• Clear, traceable manufacturing data: On-brand markings and batch numbers enable quick audits and compliance checks on site.
• NZ-ready compliance: Aligns with local safety codes and recognized guidelines, giving you confidence for workplace safety programs.
• Direct supplier shipping: Reduces lead times and ensures authenticity, so you’re not guessing about origin or rating.

Maintenance tips to maximize life and safety:

• Inspect the latch and pivot points before each lift for signs of wear or deformation.
• Avoid loads that invite choking conditions; if choking is unavoidable, reassess rigging and reduce the lift rating accordingly.
• Protect from corrosion and harsh environments; clean after exposure to chemicals or moisture and store in a dry area.
• Verify the WLL and size match your lifting equipment prior to use, and document the batch number for traceability.
