Eye Hook
Eye hooks, as the name suggests, have an eye-shaped opening at the top, allowing for easy attachment to lifting devices such as chains or ropes. Their versatility makes them suitable for a wide range of lifting operations, including overhead lifting, rigging equipment, and suspending loads. Eye hooks are available in various configurations, such as swivel eyes or self-locking eyes, providing flexibility and convenience in different scenarios.

Clevis Hook
The clevis hook is one of the most widely recognized types of rigging hooks. It features a U-shaped design with a latch that secures the load. Clevis hooks come in various sizes and capacities, making them suitable for a range of lifting applications. From hoisting heavy machinery to securing cargo during transportation, clevis hooks provide versatility and reliability.

Self Locking Hook
A self locking hook incorporates a robust and well-engineered latch as an integral component. The main advantage of a self locking hook is its exceptional durability and reliability. These hooks are designed in a way that makes it extremely difficult to break the latch, providing enhanced safety during lifting operations. Once the latch closes, it remains securely locked until the load is released from the hook, ensuring a strong and stable connection.

Swivel Hook
Swivel hooks offer enhanced maneuverability due to their rotating feature. This type of rigging hook can pivot up to 360 degrees, allowing for smoother and more precise load positioning. Swivel hooks are particularly beneficial in situations where loads need to be rotated or turned during lifting operations. They are commonly used in construction, shipbuilding, and offshore industries.

Safety Precautions for Using Rigging Hooks
When using a lifting hook, the top fitting of the sling should be placed in the load-bearing center of the hook. Do not hang it directly on the tip of the hook.
If the hook body is corroded or worn by 10% or more of its nominal dimension, it must be scrapped.
If cracks can be seen with the naked eye, or if cracks are found through inspection, the hook must be scrapped.
For hooks with safety latches, if the latch becomes loose or fails, the parts must be replaced promptly.
If the hook opening has deformed by more than 0.25% of the original opening, or if there is deformation in any other part, the hook must be scrapped.
For rotating hooks and other swiveling rigging components, lubrication grease should be applied before use.
