The Bullard BL-K Golden Gate Shank Hook is a rigging hook designed for light-to-medium capacity lifting and material handling applications where an extended hook body length is required for proper rigging clearance or connection geometry. Rated at 2.3 ton working load limit, this #5 long length shank hook is part of the BL-K Golden Gate series, a line of rigging hardware recognized in the North American lifting industry for its strength and reliability across industrial, construction, and general rigging 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.
Shank hooks of this type are commonly used as the upper connection point in block and tackle assemblies, hoist rigging, and load line applications where a fixed, non-swiveling hook attachment to a structural anchor or equipment is required. The 2.3 ton working load limit makes this hook well suited for lighter industrial and commercial lifting operations involving equipment, materials, and components encountered in maintenance, manufacturing, and general construction applications. The #5 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-K Golden Gate series shank hooks are manufactured to meet the requirements of industrial rigging applications where consistent performance and load rating compliance 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 a wide range of lifting tasks.

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.
