A G80 Container Hook (also sold in several other configurations like straight, left-hand, right-hand, and 45° angled versions such as G80 Sea Container Lifting Hook or G80 SEA Crane Hooks / Lifting Hooks Turn 45) is a heavy-duty lifting attachment designed specifically for handling shipping containers. It engages with standardized ISO container corner or twist-lock pockets so that a crane or rigging system can lift the container safely and securely.Construction & MaterialThese hooks are forged from Grade 80 (G80) high-strength alloy steel, which gives them excellent strength and toughness for lifting heavy loads.
The component is quenched and tempered, and often powder-coated for corrosion resistance and visibility on site.
They typically have a large eye or opening to easily connect to chain slings, wire rope, shackles, or other rigging hardware.
Performance & Safety
Working Load Limit (WLL): Commonly around 12.5 tons (12.5 t) for standard container lifting hooks, though specific models can vary.
Safety Factor: Designed with a 4:1 safety factor — meaning the hook is proof-tested to several times its rated load to ensure reliability under load.
Testing: Many are magnaflux crack-detected and batch tested before sale for quality and traceabilit
