Description
William Hackett Hack10 Grade 10 Eye Sling Hook
The William Hackett Hack10 Grade 10 Eye Sling Hook has a generous hook aperture and bowl. That makes it a versatile hook for a wide range of sling applications. Its eye attachment means it can be used in both chain and wire rope sling assemblies. On chain, it connects using a Hack10 connector.
The hook is manufactured from alloy steel in accordance with EN 1677-2, ASTM A952/A952M and DIN PAS 1061. It is suitable for use in chain slings certified to EN 818-4.
Eye Attachment for Chain and Wire Rope
The eye fitting gives the hook more flexibility than a clevis type. It can be fitted to chain with a connector, or used on wire rope sling assemblies. This makes it a practical choice if you work with more than one sling type, or want a hook that can be moved between assemblies.
DGUV Test H-Mark Certified
The Hack10 eye sling hook has been independently verified and awarded the DGUV Test H-Mark for lifting components, under number H83. This third-party accreditation gives extra assurance of the hook’s quality and performance, on top of the manufacturer’s own testing.
25% Stronger Than Grade 8
The Hack10 eye sling hook is 25% stronger than its Grade 8 equivalent. This gives a higher Working Load Limit without needing a larger-diameter chain sling. You can often specify a smaller chain size than Grade 8 for the same capacity, which means lighter rigging that is easier to handle and position.
Generous Aperture and Bowl
The wide hook opening makes it quick to engage lifting points, eyes and other fittings. The deep bowl gives the load a secure seat. Together they make the eye sling hook a dependable all-round choice for general lifting.
Tested for Quality and Traceability
William Hackett crack-detects every eye sling hook after heat treatment and proof load tests it to 2.5 times its Working Load Limit. These checks help confirm the integrity of each component before it enters service.
Wide Operating Temperature Range
The Hack10 eye sling hook can be used from -40°C to +200°C with no reduction in Working Load Limit. This makes it suitable for cold outdoor sites, renewables work and warmer industrial settings.
Size & Compatibility
The Hack10 eye sling hook is available for chain sizes from 8mm to 32mm, with Working Load Limits from 2.5 tonnes to 40 tonnes. It is designed to be used with:
- Hack10 Grade 10 lifting chain of the matching size, via a Hack10 connector
- Wire rope sling assemblies of a suitable rating
- Hack10 single and multi-leg chain sling assemblies
If you’d prefer a hook that fits directly onto chain without a connector, see the Hack10 clevis sling hook.
Ideal Applications
The William Hackett Hack10 Grade 10 Eye Sling Hook is suitable for:
- General-purpose chain and wire rope sling lifting
- Building and repairing Grade 10 chain slings
- Construction lifting operations
- General industrial and heavy engineering lifting
- Transportation and haulage
- Renewables, including wind energy installation and maintenance

Capacity & Load Information
The Working Load Limit of the Hack10 eye sling hook depends on the size you select. The 2.5t–40t range covers the whole product range and does not apply to every size. Always match the hook to the chain size, or the wire rope sling rating, and the required WLL of the complete assembly.
In any sling, the overall WLL is set by its configuration and its lowest-rated component. Take into account any applicable reduction factors, such as shock loading, edge loading or asymmetric loading, as set out in the manufacturer’s instructions.
