Self-Locking Hooks – Secure, Automatic Closing Hooks for Rigging & Lifting
Self-locking hooks, also known as self-closing hooks, offer enhanced safety and security in lifting and rigging applications. Unlike standard sling hooks, these hooks feature a built-in alloy latch that is part of the hook assembly. When the hook is loaded, the latch automatically locks in place, preventing accidental disengagement. Since the latch opens outward, these hooks have a larger throat opening than traditional sling hooks, making them ideal for heavy-duty lifting and material handling.
