The POWERTEX G10 Self-Locking Hook SLS-B with Ball-Bearing Swivel is a Grade 100 lifting hook designed for chain sling assemblies where a secure connection and free hook rotation are required. The automatic self-locking mechanism closes and locks when the hook is loaded, while the rear release lever allows controlled opening during load attachment and removal. The ball-bearing swivel eye rotates both loaded and unloaded, helping maintain the correct hook orientation throughout the lift.
Available for chain sizes from 6 mm to 26 mm with WLLs from 1.4 t to 26.5 t.
Also available with a slide-bearing swivel as the POWERTEX G10 Self-Locking Hook SLS.
Best used for
- Chain sling assemblies requiring a self-locking hook with continuous swivel rotation under load
Not ideal for
- Applications where hook rotation under load is not required. Choose the POWERTEX G10 Self-Locking Hook SLS with slide-bearing swivel instead.
