The POWERTEX G10 Self-Locking Hook SLS with Slide-Bearing Swivel is a Grade 100 lifting hook designed for chain sling assemblies where a secure connection to the load and easy hook positioning 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 slide-bearing swivel eye rotates when the hook is unloaded, making it easier to position the hook before lifting.
Available for chain sizes from 6 mm to 20 mm with WLLs from 1.4 t to 16 t.
Also available with a ball-bearing swivel as the POWERTEX G10 Self-Locking Hook SLS-B.
