How do I choose the correct pulling hook for my tension stringing or lifting application?

2025-08-15

Professional Answer: Choosing the correct pulling hook is paramount to the safety and success of your project. To select the right hook from our catalog, you should always consider these critical factors:

  • Working Load Limit (WLL): This is the maximum weight or force the hook can safely handle. You must ensure the hook's WLL exceeds the anticipated pulling force of your cable installation.

  • Application: Will the hook be used for overhead lifting, ground-level pulling, or as part of a winch system? Our range includes specialized hooks such as Swiveling hooks for better alignment and hooks with safety latches for added security.

  • Attachment Method: Hooks can have different attachment ends, such as an eye or a clevis. An eye hook is used for a direct, permanent connection, while a clevis hook allows for quick and easy attachment to a chain or wire rope.
