• Clevis design: The clevis with cotter pin secures the hook to 5/16 in grade 70 chain quickly and resists accidental detachment under load.
• Grab and slip options: Both grab and slip style designs are available so users can choose an open narrow throat for non-slip engagement or a slip with latch for added retention.
