Description
William Hackett Hack10 Grade 10 Swivel Self Locking Hook
The William Hackett Hack10 Grade 10 Swivel Self Locking Hook combines two safety features. A latch mechanism locks automatically when the hook comes under load, and a ball bearing swivel lets the hook rotate even while it is loaded. Once the load is relieved, the operator presses the latch trigger by hand to release the lock.
Because it can turn freely under load, this hook is commonly used in single leg chain slings for use with crane pendant wire ropes. The hook is manufactured from alloy steel in accordance with EN 1677-3, ASTM A952/A952M and DIN PAS 1061, and is suitable for use in chain slings certified to EN 818-4.
Ball Bearing Swivel
The ball bearing swivel allows the hook to rotate smoothly while it carries the load. This helps prevent twisting in the sling or the pendant wire. It also makes it easier to position and orientate the load, especially on cranes where the pendant wire tends to spin.
Automatic Locking Under Load
Unlike a standard sling hook, the self locking hook closes and locks itself as soon as load is applied. The hook can’t open while it is loaded. The lock only releases when the load has been taken off and the trigger is operated by hand. This makes it a strong choice where load security is critical.
DGUV Test H-Mark Certified
The Hack10 swivel self locking 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 swivel self locking 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.
Tested for Quality and Traceability
William Hackett crack-detects every swivel self locking 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 swivel self locking 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 swivel self locking 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
- Hack10 single leg chain slings
- Crane pendant wire assemblies of a suitable rating
If you don’t need a swivel, see the Hack10 clevis self locking hook or the Hack10 eye self locking hook.
Ideal Applications
The William Hackett Hack10 Grade 10 Swivel Self Locking Hook is suitable for:
- Single leg chain slings used with crane pendant wires
- Lifts where the load needs to rotate freely without twisting the sling
- Lifts where secure, locked engagement of the hook is essential
- Construction lifting operations
- General industrial and heavy engineering lifting
- Transportation and haulage
- Renewables, including wind energy installation and maintenan

Capacity & Load Information
The Working Load Limit of the Hack10 swivel self locking 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 pendant wire 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.
