Clevis Hook

Clevis Hook

A clevis hook is a type of rigging hook that is widely used in various lifting and rigging applications. It consists of a U-shaped body with a clevis pin or bolt passing through the end of the U, allowing it to be securely attached to chains, ropes, or other rigging equipment. The clevis pin provides a pivot point, enabling the hook to swivel, which is beneficial when dealing with loads that may have different angles or need to be rotated during lifting. Clevis hooks are commonly used in industries such as construction, manufacturing, and agriculture, where they offer a reliable connection point for lifting heavy objects. They come in various sizes and materials, including alloy steel and stainless steel, to ensure adequate strength and durability. Safety measures, including regular inspections and proper load calculations, should be followed when using clevis hooks to ensure safe and efficient lifting operations.
