Swivel Hook with Safety Latch – 1T WLL

The swivel hook is precision-forged from high-tensile alloy steel, delivering exceptional strength and durability for demanding lifting applications. With a Working Load Limit (WLL) of 1 tonne, it is engineered to perform reliably under sustained operational loads while maintaining a compact, lightweight profile. The forged construction eliminates weak points inherent in cast alternatives, ensuring consistent mechanical integrity across the full range of rated loads.

The integrated 360° rotating swivel mechanism allows the hook to rotate freely under load, effectively preventing load twist, snagging, and tangling during lifting and rigging operations. This continuous rotation capability is particularly valuable in multi-leg sling configurations and repetitive lift cycles where load spin would otherwise cause dangerous line twist. The hook is fully compatible with a wide range of lifting equipment, including chain hoists, webbing slings, and lifting beams, making it a versatile component across diverse rigging setups.

Safety is central to the design of this swivel hook. A spring-loaded safety latch secures the hook gate under load, preventing accidental disengagement of the lifting attachment during operation. The hook is manufactured in full compliance with EN 1677-1, the European standard governing forged steel components for lifting purposes, and incorporates a 4:1 safety factor — meaning the hook is proof-tested to four times its rated WLL. Users should always inspect the hook before each use, ensure loads remain within the rated WLL, and never side-load or back-load the hook.
