These components are used to join chain lengths, attach chain to fittings, and provide load attachment points in lifting systems. Technical buyers will find that YOKE hardware is specified by trade size, compatible chain trade size, hook opening width, working load limit, and hook grade. For example, connecting links are available in trade sizes from 5/16 in to 5/8 in, with corresponding compatible chain trade sizes. Foundry hooks are offered with hook opening widths from 3 in to 3 7/8 in and working load limits up to 15,000 lb. Grab hooks are available with narrow openings, such as 5/16 in, and are designed for attaching chains to loads. The hardware is made from alloy steel or steel, depending on the specific product, and is often finished in blue for identification. Grade 100 hardware is intended for use in grade 100 chain systems, while grade 80 hardware is used in grade 80 systems. 3G Electric supplies YOKE lifting and rigging hardware to industrial customers worldwide. The catalog includes 26 SKUs, with datasheets and logistics support available. 3G Electric interprets customer demand for specific trade sizes and configurations, and can provide quotes for standard and hard-to-find items. The company supports the line with technical documentation and order fulfillment, helping plant engineers, maintenance managers, and procurement specialists select the appropriate hardware for their lifting applications. YOKE products are used in overhead lifting, rigging, material handling, and load securement across industries such as manufacturing, construction, and energy.

Common Applications

  • Overhead lifting and rigging — YOKE hammerlock connecting links (e.g., X-015-13) join grade 100 chain ends in hoisting systems.
  • Foundry and heavy manufacturing — YOKE wide-opening foundry hooks (e.g., X-046-13) handle large slings and chains with up to 15,000 lb working load limit.
  • Material handling and load securement — YOKE narrow-opening grab hooks (e.g., X-042-07) attach chains to loads or adjust chain length in grade 100 systems.
  • Construction and rigging — YOKE connecting links and hooks are used in lifting assemblies for structural steel and precast concrete placement.
  • Energy and utilities — YOKE grade 100 hardware supports lifting operations for transformers, pipe sections, and heavy equipment in maintenance and installation.
  • Marine and offshore — YOKE alloy steel hooks and links are used in deck lifting and cargo handling where corrosion resistance and high strength are required.

Frequently asked questions

Common questions about YOKE from 3G Electric.

What is the difference between YOKE hammerlock connecting links and other connecting links?

YOKE hammerlock connecting links are designed to join grade 100 chain ends or attach chain to fittings in overhead lifting. They are available in trade sizes from 5/16 in to 5/8 in, with compatible chain trade sizes matching the trade size. The hammerlock design allows for a secure, reusable connection. Unlike some other connecting links, hammerlock links are typically used in grade 100 chain systems and are made from alloy steel. They are identified by a blue finish and a manufacturer part number such as X-015-07 for the 5/16 in size. When selecting a connecting link, ensure the trade size matches the chain trade size and that the working load limit meets the application requirements.

What are the working load limits for YOKE wide-opening foundry hooks?

YOKE wide-opening foundry hooks are available with working load limits of 5,700 lb, 8,800 lb, and 15,000 lb, depending on the model. For example, the X-046-16 has a 5,700 lb working load limit and a 3 7/8 in hook opening width, while the X-046-13 has a 15,000 lb working load limit and a 3 1/2 in hook opening width. The X-046-10 has an 8,800 lb working load limit and a 3 in hook opening width. These hooks are made from grade 100 steel and have a blue finish. They are designed for lifting applications where standard hooks cannot accommodate large slings or chains. Always verify the working load limit against the load weight and the rest of the lifting system.

Are YOKE grab hooks compatible with grade 100 chain?

YOKE grab hooks, such as the narrow-opening grab hook with MPN X-042-07, are grade 100 steel clevis hooks. They are designed for use in grade 100 chain systems. The X-042-07 has a 5/16 in hook opening width and a 5,700 lb working load limit. Grab hooks are used to attach chains to loads or to adjust chain length in rigging and material handling. When using a grab hook with grade 100 chain, ensure the hook's working load limit is appropriate for the application and that the hook is properly matched to the chain size. The blue finish helps identify the hook as grade 100 hardware.

What sizes of YOKE connecting links does 3G Electric supply?

3G Electric supplies YOKE hammerlock connecting links in trade sizes of 5/16 in, 3/8 in, 1/2 in, and 5/8 in. The compatible chain trade sizes match the trade size for each link. For example, the 5/16 in link (MPN X-015-07) is compatible with 5/16 in chain, the 3/8 in link (MPN X-015-10) with 3/8 in chain, the 1/2 in link (MPN X-015-13) with 1/2 in chain, and the 5/8 in link (MPN X-015-16) with 5/8 in chain. These links are made from alloy steel and are part of the grade 100 line. 3G Electric can provide datasheets and quotes for these and other YOKE rigging hardware.

What is the hook opening width of YOKE foundry hooks?

YOKE wide-opening foundry hooks have hook opening widths of 3 in, 3 1/2 in, and 3 7/8 in, depending on the model. The X-046-10 has a 3 in opening, the X-046-13 has a 3 1/2 in opening, and the X-046-16 has a 3 7/8 in opening. These wide openings allow the hooks to accommodate large slings, chains, or fittings that would not fit in a standard hook. The hooks are made from grade 100 steel and have a blue finish. When selecting a foundry hook, consider the required opening width and the working load limit, which ranges from 5,700 lb to 15,000 lb for these models.

Does 3G Electric provide documentation for YOKE lifting hardware?

Yes, 3G Electric provides datasheets and logistics support for YOKE lifting hardware. The catalog includes 26 SKUs, and technical documentation such as manufacturer part numbers, trade sizes, working load limits, and material specifications is available. For plant engineers and procurement specialists, this documentation supports product selection and verification. 3G Electric can also assist with quotes and order fulfillment for standard and hard-to-find items. For specific documentation requests, contact 3G Electric with the manufacturer part number or trade size.
