The Bullard BL-D Golden Gate Shank Hook is a medium-to-heavy-duty rigging hook engineered for reliable lifting and material handling applications requiring a fixed, high-strength connection point. Rated at 5.5 ton working load limit, this #8 standard length shank hook is part of the BL-D Golden Gate series, a line of rigging hardware recognized in the North American lifting industry for its strength and reliability in industrial, construction, and marine applications. The standard length configuration provides a conventional hook body profile suited to a wide range of rigging applications where the additional depth of a long length hook is not required.
Shank hooks of this type are commonly used as the upper connection point in block and tackle assemblies, hoist rigging, and crane load lines where a fixed, non-swiveling hook attachment to a structural anchor or equipment is required. The 5.5 ton working load limit makes this hook well suited for medium-to-heavy industrial lifting operations involving equipment, structural components, and materials encountered in construction, manufacturing, and maintenance applications. The #8 designation refers to the hook size classification within the manufacturer's product series, corresponding to the hook's dimensional specifications and working load limit rating.
The BL-D Golden Gate series shank hooks are manufactured to meet the requirements of industrial rigging applications where consistent performance, load rating compliance, and traceability are essential. The standard length shank design allows the hook to be secured to a fixed anchor point, beam, or structural member using a nut and bolt or pin arrangement, providing a stable and reliable rigging attachment point for medium-to-heavy lift operations.

Note: Always verify the working load limit of all rigging components in the system prior to use. Never exceed the rated WLL of any component. Inspect hooks prior to each use for cracks, deformation, wear, and latch function. Follow all applicable rigging standards and manufacturer guidelines for safe use and retirement criteria.
