Yoke 5/8" Grade 100 Swivel Bearing Hoist Hook - WLL 20,000 lbs, #X-175N-16

YOKE X-175N-16 Grade 100 Ball Bearing Swivel Hoist Hook – Smooth Rotation Under Load. Not Just Before It.

There's an important distinction between a swivel hook and a ball bearing swivel hook — and it matters most when the load is on. Standard swivel hooks are designed for pre-lift positioning. The YOKE X-175N-16 goes further: its internal ball bearing supports controlled, smooth rotation while the load is actively suspended — absorbing torsional forces at the hook rather than allowing them to travel up into the chain, wire rope, or sling assembly above.

Ball Bearing Precision. Real-World Performance.

In overhead crane systems, electric and manual hoists, and lifting blocks where the alignment between the lifting device and the load shifts during hoisting or positioning, a standard swivel creates friction and resistance that transfers stress into the rigging. The X-175N-16's internal ball bearing mechanism eliminates that friction — rotating smoothly and consistently under the full 9-ton WLL (20,000 lbs) without binding, jerking, or degrading hook performance over repeated lift cycles. The integrated safety latch retains chain slings, wire rope slings, eye bolts, and lifting attachments throughout the handling cycle.

Built to Grade 100 specification, the X-175N-16 is the correct component for Grade 100 chain sling assemblies and documented lifting programs requiring Grade 100 certified hardware throughout the rigging system.
