Lifting Hooks for Safe and Efficient Operations
In any lifting arrangement, the hook bears more responsibility than its size might suggest. It is the final link between load and lifting system, concentrating all the forces of the lift on a single component. For this reason, the integrity of a hook determines much of the overall safety for your equipment, your project, and your crew.
At Holloway Rigging, every hook we source is selected with this understanding in mind. From high-rise construction sites to warehouse handling and precision moves on manufacturing floors, we provide products that give operators confidence that their lifting assemblies are ready for the demands of the task. Holloway has earned its reputation through deep knowledge of rigging hardware, long-standing partnerships with leading brands, and a commitment to supplying products that align with OSHA and ASME standards for lifting safety.
Types of Hardware Lifting & Rigging Hooks
No two lifts are the same, and the choice of hook must align with how the load is being moved. Holloway carries a comprehensive lineup of hooks designed for different working conditions:
Eye Grab Hooks
The industry standard. Featuring a simple eye connection point, these are versatile for use with mechanical couplers, chain, or wire rope slings. Available with or without safety latches.
Clevis Hooks
Designed with a U-shaped clevis and a pin, allowing for quick and secure attachment directly to the chain, eliminating the need for extra components.
Swivel Hooks
A must-have for preventing sling twisting. These hooks rotate 360°, allowing the load to be positioned easily without damaging your lifting sling.
Sorting Hooks
Characterized by a wide throat, these hooks are ideal for handling and sorting rebar, pipes, and other awkwardly shaped materials in scrap yards and construction sites.
Self-Locking Hooks
The pinnacle of safety. These hooks automatically lock under load and will not disengage even if the load is set down, preventing accidental release.
Grab Hooks
Featuring a narrow throat, these are designed to "grab" a link of chain to shorten or create a secure anchor point in a chain sling assembly.
Foundry Hooks
Made with a wide throat opening to allow quick loading and unloading. Common in foundries and steel plants for lifting heavy or uneven items.
Sling Hooks
Designed for direct use with chain, wire rope, or synthetic slings. Their wide opening and latch make them practical for everyday lifting jobs.
Shank Hooks
Feature an extended shank for welding or fitting into cranes and hoists. Provide a fixed connection point for heavy lifting applications.
