Frequently Asked Questions
How do I choose the correct snap hook size and capacity?
Select a snap hook with a load capacity greater than the maximum load you expect to apply, and match the section diameter and length to the chain or rope you are using. Always allow a suitable safety margin and follow your site’s lifting guidelines.
What is the difference between open and captive configurations?
Open snap hooks allow easier removal from the chain or rope, making them ideal for temporary connections. Captive designs help keep the hook secured to the chain or fitting, reducing the risk of loss or accidental disconnection in regular use.
Can these snap hooks be used for overhead lifting?
These mild steel snap hooks have stated load capacities, but suitability for overhead lifting depends on your full lifting system and relevant standards. Always consult your lifting regulations and a competent person before using any component for lifting.
