Weld On Hooks

Weld On Hooks for Lifting & Lashing

Sometimes you need a lifting point exactly where the equipment doesn't already have one. That's where a weld on hook comes in.

They're commonly welded onto excavator buckets, plant machinery, trucks, low loaders and fabricated lifting equipment to provide a permanent attachment point. Once correctly fitted, the hook can be used with compatible chains and other lifting or lashing equipment depending on what that particular hook has been designed for.

You'll find them everywhere from construction and engineering workshops to transport, agriculture and heavy industry.

Where Are Weld On Hooks Used?

Weld on hooks can be fitted to all sorts of machinery and fabricated equipment, including:

• Excavator and digger buckets

• Trucks and lorries

• Low loaders and trailers

• Spreader beams

• Plant and agricultural machinery

• Fabricated lifting equipment

• Industrial machinery

The important bit is choosing a hook that's actually suitable for the application, rather than simply going by its size.

Choosing the Right Weld On Hook

There are a few things you'll want to check before ordering:

• Working load limit - Choose a hook with the correct WLL for the loads it'll be used with

• What it's designed for - Check whether the product is rated for lifting, lashing or the particular application you have in mind

• Where it's being fitted - The equipment and supporting structure need to be suitable for the hook and intended load

• Hook design - Different shapes and configurations suit different equipment and lifting arrangements

• Compatible lifting gear - Make sure the hook works properly with the chains, slings or other equipment you're using
