Description

Overview

Austlift G80 Swivel Clevis Safety Hook 8mm is a swivel, self locking clevis hook built for Grade 80 chain sling work. Because the clevis connects directly to chain, it keeps a sling compact and easy to handle while still allowing the hook to rotate under load.

The ball bearing swivel helps reduce twist during lifts, so you get cleaner alignment when the load wants to turn. At the same time, the self locking trigger stays engaged unless you deliberately release it, which helps prevent accidental opening in normal use.

Features

• Swivel action on a ball bearing so the hook can rotate under load
• Clevis connection suits direct attachment to chain for a compact sling build
• Self locking trigger design for positive closure during lifting tasks
• Identification markings and batch traceability with test certificates available on request

Compatibility and Fitment

Confirm you are pairing the hook with compatible Grade 80 components, and check that your chain size matches 8mm before assembly. Also make sure the clevis pin sits fully home and that the trigger returns freely after cycling it by hand.

If you need a compact chain sling that can accommodate rotation, this style suits many general lifting setups. However, avoid side loading the hook and keep the load centred in the bowl to protect the latch and swivel.

Compliance and Safety

Use the hook only within the working load limit and as part of an inspected lifting system. Inspect the body, clevis pin, and trigger before each lift, and replace components that show cracking, deformation, or heavy wear.

Do not weld, heat, or modify the hook, because changes can reduce strength and traceability. Instead, service the trigger with the correct kit when needed, and keep records if your site procedures require certification.

Trailer Applications

In trailer workshops, Austlift G80 Swivel Clevis Safety Hook 8mm works well when you build chain slings for lifting heavy parts such as axles, suspension assemblies, turntables, and drawbar components. It also suits general workshop lifting where you want the hook to swivel under load rather than twisting the chain.

Because the clevis connection stays compact, it can help when space around a lift point is tight. As a result, you can often rig cleaner and reduce snag points on nearby hardware.
