Eye Hook With Latch
The KKV Eye Sling Hook with Latch is an eye-type lifting hook for assembly into compatible chain sling systems. Select the exact model by its verified Working Load Limit, eye and hook dimensions, connected-component fit, sling configuration, load direction, environment and required documentation.
- Eye connection for compatible chain sling components and approved coupling arrangements.
- Spring-loaded latch helps retain a loose attachment when the sling is slack.
- The latch is not a load-bearing part and must never support the load.
- The load must seat in the hook bowl, without tip, side or back loading.
- Multiple sizes and Working Load Limits are available subject to exact-model confirmation.
Description
Eye Sling Hook with Latch
The KKV Eye Sling Hook with Latch provides a detachable load-engagement point for compatible chain sling assemblies. Its eye connection is intended to be joined to an approved chain, coupling link or other compatible component selected for the complete sling system.
Final selection must be based on the marked and documented Working Load Limit (WLL) of the exact hook, the eye and throat dimensions, the connected-component geometry, sling arrangement, load direction, operating environment and destination-market requirements. The capacity of the complete assembly is governed by its lowest-rated component and its actual configuration.
Designed for Compatible Chain Sling Assemblies
Eye-Type Connection
The upper eye accepts a correctly sized and approved connecting component without forcing, binding or loading an unintended surface.
Hook Bowl Load Seat
The load must seat in the hook bowl or saddle so that force follows the intended load path through the hook body.
Retention Latch
The spring-loaded latch helps retain a loose sling or attachment during slack conditions. It is not designed to carry load.
Model-Based Selection
WLL, eye size, throat opening, body dimensions and component compatibility must be checked for the exact supplied model.
Visible Pre-Use Checks
The body, eye, hook tip, bowl, latch, pivot and spring can be examined before the assembly is placed in service.
Order-Specific Documentation
Marking, dimensions, technical documents, packaging and destination requirements can be confirmed before production.
The Hook Body Carries the Load; the Latch Does Not
The load must seat in the hook bowl and remain aligned with the intended plane of loading. Do not apply the load to the hook tip, latch, side or back of the hook. Do not allow a chain link, fitting or lifting point to bear against the latch or prevent it from closing freely.
Verify that the attachment can enter the throat without forcing, sits correctly in the bowl and cannot wedge across the opening. If the application can create side loading, tip loading, back loading, shock loading or uncontrolled movement, stop and obtain application-specific guidance for the exact hook and sling arrangement.
Where an Eye Sling Hook May Be Used
Review KKV Grade 80 lifting chain, chain-rigging assemblies and D shackles with safety bolts when specifying the complete system. Inclusion on the same website does not by itself prove that two components are compatible.
Six Checks Before Ordering
Confirm the Required WLL
Calculate the maximum load applied to the hook and verify the WLL of the exact hook and complete assembly.
Define the Sling Configuration
State the number of legs, sling angles, load distribution, intended connection and whether the load can shift.
Measure the Eye Connection
Confirm the eye opening, section size and approved coupling arrangement against the connected component.
Check Hook Fit
Verify throat opening, bowl geometry and clearance at the actual lifting point without loading the tip or latch.
Describe the Environment
Provide temperature, moisture, corrosion, chemical exposure, frequency, shock risk and other relevant service conditions.
Confirm Marking and Documents
List required identification, drawings, inspection records, certificates, packaging and destination requirements.
Check the Complete Hook Before Every Lift
Inspection frequency and removal criteria must follow the supplied instructions, applicable requirements, service severity and site procedures.
Remove the hook from service when its identity, condition, fit or latch operation is uncertain. Do not straighten, weld, heat, bend, grind or reshape the hook. Use only a replacement latch kit confirmed for the exact hook model and size, and refer repair or return-to-service decisions to an authorized or qualified party.
