Gunnebo 5/16" EGKN-8-10 Grade 100 Clevis Sling Hook - 5700 lbs WLL

Gunnebo EGKN Sling Hook – The World's Most Recognized Chain Sling Hook.

Some rigging hardware earns its reputation over decades of proven field performance. The Gunnebo EGKN Sling Hook is exactly that — the most widely recognized and extensively used sling hook design in the global lifting industry. From construction cranes to manufacturing floor hoists, the EGKN is the hook riggers reach for when reliability, safety, and compatibility matter most.

Built to the Standard That Sets the Standard

Forged from alloy steel for consistent grain structure and superior toughness, the EGKN's robust body is matched with a heavy-duty spring-loaded safety latch that keeps the load positively engaged throughout the lift — preventing accidental disengagement under dynamic loading, vibration, or load swing. Compatible with both Grade 100 and Grade 80 chain, it integrates directly into the widest range of chain sling assemblies without requiring adapter components or special fittings.

Built to a 4:1 design factor and certified to EN 1677:2008 (+25% WLL), ASTM A952/A952M, and AS 3776:2015, the EGKN satisfies the multi-standard compliance requirements of industrial, offshore, and construction lifting contracts across North America, Europe, and Australia.

Important: Always ensure hook and chain are correctly matched by grade and size. WLL is governed by the weakest component in the assembly.
