HOOTO 5/16" G70 Clevis Slip Hook 2-Pack with Safety Latch — Forged 18,000 lb Tow/Trailer Grade

Heavy-duty 5/16" HOOTO G70 clevis slip hooks with spring-loaded safety latches, forged for towing and load restraint up to 18,000 lb gross trailer weight (sold as a 2-pack).

Whether you’re securing a flatbed load, attaching a trailer safety chain or rigging a winch, these HOOTO forged Grade 70 clevis slip hooks deliver dependable strength in a compact size. Manufactured from heat-treated alloy steel and finished to resist corrosion and abrasion, they are designed for transport, towing, agriculture and light industrial tasks that require a reliable connection point with quick-release capability.

How strong and durable are these clevis slip hooks?

These hooks are forged to Grade 70 specifications and heat treated to increase tensile strength and wear resistance. Each hook is rated to support up to an 18,000 lb gross trailer weight when used as designed, and the high-strength alloy resists deformation under heavy loads.

• Grade 70 forging for elevated tensile strength and fatigue resistance
• Precision heat treatment for improved hardness and durability
• Protective finish to slow corrosion and extend service life

How does the safety latch improve performance on the road?

The spring-loaded safety latch keeps the chain or attachment point from slipping out during transit while still allowing fast manual release when needed. This reduces the chance of accidental uncoupling compared with open hooks and adds a layer of retention for moving or vibrating loads.

• Spring latch holds the connection closed under vibration
• Quick manual release lets you unhook without tools
• Latch geometry designed to clear common trailer chain links and straps

Will these hooks fit my trailer chain and hardware?

These are 5/16" clevis slip hooks intended to mate with 5/16" Grade 70 chain, common safety chains and many transport binder setups. The clevis pin opening allows straightforward installation on compatible anchor points or chain ends; always verify dimensions and load ratings across components before use.

• Designed for 5/16" Grade 70 chain and matching clevis pins
• Fits typical trailer safety chain links and binder hardware
• Check pin diameter and chain grade compatibility prior to assembly

How should I maintain these hooks for long life?

Routine inspection and light maintenance prolong safe service. Keep latch springs free of debris, remove heavy rust if it appears, lubricate pivot points occasionally, and replace any hook showing deformation, cracks, or excessive wear.

• Inspect for cracks, bent throat, or worn latch before each use
• Lubricate the latch pivot periodically to ensure smooth action
• Replace hooks immediately if damaged or if load capacity is compromised

Who is this for: Truckers, trailer owners, landscapers, construction operators and anyone who uses binder chains, safety chains or winch straps will find these HOOTO clevis slip hooks practical and reliable. They suit applications that demand a compact, high-strength connection with a positive safety latch — ideal when compliance with rated hardware and frequent hook/unhook operations are required.
