S-Shaped Hooks
FLOK supplies S-shaped hooks made of carbon steel with hot-dip or electrogalvanic zinc coating for suspending and connecting chains, ropes and loads.
An S-shaped hook is a connecting element for suspending or joining a pair of systems with different attachment points. It allows chains or ropes to be connected, or products to be hung on display stands. Used in industry and construction. The name comes from its shape, resembling the letter S.
Materials
The type S hook is made of carbon steel. For protection against moisture and aggressive factors, it is additionally coated with zinc by hot-dip or electrogalvanic galvanizing. The electrogalvanic coating reduces the risk of premature corrosion and extends the service life of the element.
Operating features
The hook size and its characteristics are selected based on operating conditions and load. For example, an S hook for hanging meat does not require increased strength, but for hanging a half-carcass it must have a comparable width.
The element is used as a consumable fitting that complements flexible rigging elements.
Design
An S-shaped hook is a metal rod bent in the shape of the letter S. Suitable for suspending loads of small mass.
Installation is carried out in the following order:
- Chain links are inserted into the segments of the hook.
- Fastening is performed with blows from a sledgehammer.
The characteristics depend on the material from which the hook is made. Structural steel is used for this.
How to choose
When choosing, the material, galvanizing method and additional properties are taken into account. Important factors are coating thickness, strength and load capacity of the element.
