Product details
The 315 safety snap hook is forged from alloy steel and heat treated. Each hook is 100% proof loaded to 3600 lbs / 16 kN, and the minimum breaking load is 5000 lbs / 22.2 kN. Stating both pound and kilonewton values makes the figures straightforward to compare for buyers working in imperial and metric units.
Forged steel snap hooks are preferred where durability counts: lanyards used on rebar and formwork, lifelines on steel structures, and restraint lines on roofs where hooks are dragged over rough surfaces. Heat treatment gives the forged steel its final strength and toughness, while proof loading every piece gives the assembler a documented check on each hook.
Request a drawing and sample to confirm the opening, overall size, weight, finish and gate mechanism. Model 311 is listed with the same material and load figures, and the factory can explain how the two differ. Include the standard and marking your market requires in your RFQ. Power Honour can manufacture 315 as an OEM or private-label hook and modify it to a customer drawing.
