The Bullard BL-I Golden Gate Shank Hook is a heavy-duty rigging hook engineered for very high-capacity lifting and material handling applications where both maximum load rating and an extended hook body length are required. Rated at 18.5 ton working load limit, this #14 long length shank hook is part of the BL-I Golden Gate series, a line of rigging hardware recognized in the North American lifting industry for its strength and reliability in demanding industrial, construction, and marine applications. The long length configuration provides additional hook body depth compared to standard length equivalents, accommodating rigging arrangements where greater clearance between the shank attachment point and the hook throat is necessary for proper load geometry or block and tackle assembly configuration.
Shank hooks of this type are commonly used as the upper connection point in heavy-duty 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 18.5 ton working load limit places this hook among the highest-capacity options in the Golden Gate shank hook series, making it suitable for the most demanding heavy industrial lifting operations involving large structural components, heavy machinery, offshore equipment, and other substantial loads. The #14 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-I Golden Gate series shank hooks are manufactured to meet the requirements of demanding industrial rigging applications where consistent performance, load rating compliance, and traceability are essential. The long length shank design allows the hook to be secured to a fixed anchor point, beam, or structural member, providing a stable and reliable rigging attachment point for the most demanding heavy lift operations.
