HES NZ 13mm 5.3T Grab Hook with SLR G80 Clevis

The 13mm 5.3T Grab Hook – SLR G80 Clevis is a purpose-built, compact shortening hook designed to pair with standard load chains in professional rigging applications. Created by HES NZ LTD for demanding lifting and load-handling tasks, this hook delivers reliable performance in real‑world environments—overhead crane work, warehouses, construction sites, and maintenance projects—without compromising safety or efficiency.

Why this grab hook stands out

• Proven strength with a precise fit: 13mm cross-section paired with a 5.3 tonne rated capacity, engineered to provide a secure, controlled shorten in lift chains while preserving maximum load capacity.
• G80 Clevis for superior strength-to-weight: Grade 80 construction delivers a robust connection that stands up to repeated hoisting cycles while keeping overall weight manageable for easier handling and quicker rigging checks.
• Cradle design for load-chain support: The cradle supports the link chain during shortening, maintaining proper seating and chain alignment to minimize wear and prevent capacity loss during demanding lifts.
• Traceability and compliance your team can trust: Clearly branded with SLR086CSGH-13 and a dated batch (10.5.18), plus adherence to NZ Department of Labour codes of practice and EN818.4, EN1677-1, AS3776 standards for inspections and audits.
• Real-world practicality: Specifically designed to engage chain reliably in constrained spaces, reducing snagging and enabling smoother, safer hoisting cycles in busy work environments.

Specifications in real terms

What problems it solves and how you’ll use it

In overhead crane work, warehouses, and construction zones, shortening hooks must seat the chain precisely and withstand repeated loads without compromising safety. This grab hook’s cradle design keeps the chain aligned, reducing wear on vulnerable points and extending the life of both hook and chain. The G80 clevis and clearly defined ratings help prevent overloading and misassembly, giving riggers a reliable, audit-ready part that supports consistent lifting cycles and safer operations in tight spaces.

Ideal for

• Professional rigging teams performing lifts in overhead crane environments
• Medium- to heavy-duty material handling in warehouses and factories
• Construction sites where space is constrained and precise chain seating matters
• Maintenance operations requiring dependable, traceable lifting hooks

Usage guidance and best practices

• Always match the hook to a compatible load chain diameter and rating—do not exceed 5.3 T.
• Regularly inspect for deformation or wear around the clevis, cradle, and hook body; promptly retire if any doubt exists about integrity.
• Ensure proper seating in the cradle during use to maintain load chain alignment and prevent snagging.
• Store the hook in a manner that protects geometry and avoids impact damage that could affect performance.
