The Grade 80 Eye Choke Hook (ECK Type) is a heavy-duty, forged lifting component specifically designed for creating secure loop or choker slings. Its unique twisted eye profile makes it ideal for reeving applications while minimizing load slippage.
Twist Eye Design: Features an integrated twisted eye that naturally aligns the hook with the load, reducing torque and preventing the rigging from binding.
Choker Applications: Purpose-built for loop lifting and reeving, providing a highly secure grip when wrapping chains or ropes around a load.
Versatile Pairing: Easily connects to wire ropes and is frequently paired with an omega link to create highly efficient, adjustable lifting assemblies.
Grade 80 Strength: Manufactured from premium alloy steel, delivering exceptional wear resistance and a reliable 4:1 safety factor for demanding industrial lifts.
Choker Hitch Specialist: Perfect for lifting loose bundles like logs, pipes, or timber. The hook slides freely along the sling body, naturally tightening the grip as the load is lifted.
Universal Connection: The Eye (Ring) design allows connection to Grade 80 Chain (via Hammerlock), Wire Rope thimbles, or Webbing Slings, making it a multi-purpose rigging component.
Secure Grip: The unique hook geometry ensures that once the load is lifted, the chain link or rope is trapped securely in the hook bowl to prevent slipping.
Forestry Ready: Forged from high-strength Grade 80 Alloy Steel to withstand shock loads and abrasion common in logging operations.
Choker Hook Selection: Eye vs. Clevis
Type
Connection
Best Application
Eye Choker (ECK / This Product)
Universal Requires Connector
Versatile Rigging. Best if you need to use the hook with Wire Rope, Webbing, or connect to different chain sizes via a Connecting Link.
Clevis Choker (CCK Type)
Chain Only Direct Pin
Dedicated Chain Slings. Faster to assemble (no extra connector), but restricted to specific chain sizes.

⚠️ Safety & Compatibility Notes
DO NOT mix Grade 80 components with other grades (G70, G100) in the same sling leg.
Always match Grade 80 chain with Grade 80 fittings.
Observe sling angle factors and WLL reductions during lifts.
Inspect regularly for: Wear (>10%), Cracks/Distortion, Corrosion, or Heat Damage.
