A-1338 Cradle Grab Hook

Product Description

The Crosby A-1338 Cradle Grab Hook is designed for secure chain sling shortening, load positioning, and choker applications while maintaining 100% of the chain sling Working Load Limit. Featuring an innovative cradle-style saddle design, the A/L-1338 distributes load evenly across the chain link to reduce point loading and improve chain engagement during lifting operations.
Manufactured from forged alloy steel and heat treated for durability, the A/L-1338 provides dependable performance for demanding industrial, construction, marine, and overhead lifting applications.
