Frequently asked questions
Common questions about B/A PRODUCTS CO. from 3G Electric.
What is the working load limit of B/A Products Co. Grade 70 slip hooks?
B/A Products Co. Grade 70 slip hooks are available with working load limits of 4,700 lb, 6,600 lb, and 11,300 lb. These hooks are made of alloy steel with a clevis mounting and a latch to retain the load. The working load limit is marked on the hook, and the Grade 70 rating indicates a minimum breaking strength of four times the working load limit. When selecting a slip hook, match the working load limit to the chain grade and size used in the assembly. The clevis style allows attachment to a chain end or fitting with a pin.
What sizes of B/A Products Co. double-clevis connecting links are available?
B/A Products Co. double-clevis connecting links are available in at least two sizes: one with an overall length of 2 13/16 in and an overall width of 1 27/32 in, and another with an overall length of 3 5/8 in and an overall width of 2 13/32 in. These steel links are used to join two chain strands or attach chain to a fixture. The double-clevis design provides two clevis pins for connection. When ordering, verify the link dimensions and working load limit against the chain size and application requirements.
Are B/A Products Co. grab hooks compatible with Grade 70 chain?
Yes, B/A Products Co. narrow-opening grab hooks are rated Grade 70 and are designed for use with Grade 70 chain. They are available with working load limits of 4,700 lb and 6,600 lb. The narrow opening allows the hook to engage a chain link without slipping, making it suitable for load binding and securement. The hooks have a clevis mounting and a yellow finish. Always confirm that the hook's working load limit meets or exceeds the working load limit of the chain it is used with.
What is the trade size of B/A Products Co. Grade 70 load-securing chains?
B/A Products Co. Grade 70 load-securing chains are available in a 5/16 in trade size. These straight chains include a grab hook and are used for tie-down and restraint of cargo during transport. The Grade 70 rating indicates high-strength, heat-treated steel suitable for load binding. The chain's working load limit should be verified against the application's requirements. When replacing or building assemblies, use components of the same grade and size to maintain the overall rating.
What is the difference between a B/A Products Co. slip hook and a grab hook?
B/A Products Co. slip hooks have a larger, rounded opening that allows the chain or load to slide through, and they include a latch to retain the load. Grab hooks have a narrow opening designed to engage a specific chain link and hold it without slipping. Slip hooks are often used at the end of a chain for lifting or towing, while grab hooks are used for load binding and shortening chain. Both are available in Grade 70 and various working load limits. Selection depends on whether the application requires the load to slide or be fixed.
