Grab Hooks – Secure Chain Connections for Rigging & Lifting

Grab hooks are designed to lock onto a specific link of chain, providing a strong, secure connection in lifting and rigging applications. Unlike sling hooks or self-locking hooks, grab hooks are primarily used with chain slings and not with wire rope or synthetic slings. Their design allows for quick, adjustable chain length control, making them a go-to choice for lifting, load tensioning, and rigging operations. All of our grab hooks feature a cradle design, which fully supports the chain link, preventing load slippage and reducing stress on the chain.
