Eye HOOK

An Eye Hook is a robust, forged lifting accessory designed for secure attachment in heavy-duty lifting and rigging operations. It features a circular eye at the top, allowing easy connection to chains, wire ropes, or lifting slings. Typically made from high-grade alloy steel, eye hooks are heat-treated for superior strength and wear resistance.

Used in industries such as construction, mining, marine, and manufacturing, eye hooks may come with safety latches or self-locking mechanisms to prevent accidental load release. They are engineered to meet international safety standards, offering reliable performance in critical lifting tasks.
