What is the difference between an eye hook and a clevis hook?

An eye hook features a solid closed circular ring that connects to wire ropes, shackles, or master links via a connecting link. A clevis hook features an integrated fork end with a load pin, allowing direct connection to a chain link without needing an extra coupling link.

Why is a safety latch required on American type eye hooks?

The spring-loaded safety latch bridges the hook opening to prevent slacked wire ropes, chains, or synthetic slings from slipping off the hook tip during lifting operations, fully complying with ASME B30.10 safety standards.

American Type Eye Hoist Hooks (G80/Carbon Steel) | Tie Shou

Tie Shou American type eye hooks are heavy-duty lifting fittings engineered for overhead hoisting, crane rigging, and chain sling assemblies. Precision drop-forged from high-grade quenched and tempered alloy steel (Grade 80) or high-tensile carbon steel, these eye hooks comply with ASME B30.10 and US Federal Specifications, delivering safe Working Load Limits (WLL) from 0.75 Ton up to 31.5 Tons with a certified 4:1 safety design factor.

Key Engineering Advantages & Technical Features:

Drop-Forged & Heat-Treated Alloy Construction: Premium alloy steel construction ensures high ductility and fatigue resistance under dynamic impact loads.
Heavy-Duty Spring Safety Latch: Fitted with a reinforced steel safety latch that locks into the hook tip to prevent accidental rigging disengagement.
Large Circular Eye Design: Smoothly finished eye top allows easy connection with wire rope thimbles, shackles, chain links, and master rings.
Individual Batch Testing: 100% proof tested to 2 times the WLL with non-destructive crack detection (MPI) for maximum jobsite reliability.
