Snap Hooks

A rigging snap hook is used to attach objects to brackets, rings, chains and ropes, for temporary or permanent coupling. It is used in construction, mountaineering, tourism and installation work.

Design features

A snap hook is fitted with a gate that locks the chain or rope in place and prevents it from slipping off. The gate may have a spring mechanism for automatic closing. Some models are fitted with a locking device that prevents the gate from opening on its own.

Types of snap hooks

Rigging snap hooks are produced in several types:

• fire snap hooks;
• screw snap hooks;
• pipe snap hooks;
• rapid links.

Snap hooks differ by material: carbon steel, aluminium, titanium. Steel parts are coated with a thin layer of zinc to protect against moisture.

Compliance with regulatory requirements

Rigging snap hooks are manufactured in accordance with the DIN standard — the foreign equivalent of GOST. Compliance with the technology ensures the part meets the required technical characteristics.

Advantages

A snap hook provides high installation speed and the ability to disassemble the connection. Elements can be connected in a short time. Despite its simple design, it provides a reliable connecting link.

When choosing a rigging snap hook, the maximum load must be taken into account. Exceeding the values specified by the manufacturer is not allowed — this will lead to failure of the product.
