Wire Rope Hooks for Cable Assemblies
Lexco Cable supplies wire hooks and stainless steel hooks for load lifting, towing, and other heavy-duty wire rope applications. We offer domestic (Made in the USA) and imported hooks in drop forged steel alloy and stainless steel, along with S-hooks in various sizes.
Our wire hooks are available with rigid eye, swivel eye, and clevis end connectors for fast, secure attachment to wire rope, aircraft cable, or chain, with models available with or without latch kits. Stainless steel hooks are a common choice when corrosion resistance is a priority.
S-hooks are commonly used in trailer safety applications and are divided into four classes by tensile strength. S-hooks are not intended for overhead lifting; let your sales representative know if a safety latch is required.
All hooks are available in bulk quantities or as part of a complete cable assembly. Lexco specializes in cable assembly fabrication to save time and cost in the production process. Request a quote on hooks for your application, or contact Lexco Cable if you don’t see the right hook for your needs in our online inventory.
Choosing the Right Wire Hook or Stainless Steel Hook
Hook selection depends on the load type, connection style, and material. Rigid eye and swivel eye hooks suit standard lifting and rigging connections, while clevis end hooks provide a pinned connection to wire rope or chain. Swivel eye styles allow the hook to rotate under load, which helps prevent cable twist during lifting or positioning.
Stainless steel hooks hold up well in corrosive, marine, and outdoor environments, while drop forged steel alloy hooks are a common choice for general industrial and rigging use where corrosion resistance is less of a concern. S-hooks are best suited to trailer safety chain applications rather than overhead lifting, and should include a safety latch when required by the application.
