Tylaska SS20L Plunger Pin Certified Lifting Hook – Clevis Bail
The Tylaska SS20L Plunger Pin Certified Lifting Hook – Clevis Bail is a CE marked, overhead-rated lifting hook designed for applications where polished stainless steel aesthetics must be combined with certified industrial strength and reliability. With a Safe Working Load of 2000kg, it is engineered specifically for lifting applications in accordance with European regulations.
Part of Tylaska’s SS Series lifting hook range, the SS20L is manufactured from highly polished 17-4 PH stainless steel components, offering exceptional strength, corrosion resistance and a premium finish. It features a robust plunger pin latch design that provides secure closure while allowing controlled, positive release.
The SS20L represents a comprehensive redesign of the classic SS20 sailing shackle. While it shares the familiar geometry, the lifting hook version has undergone a thorough overhaul of both design and manufacturing processes to meet the strict requirements of certified lifting equipment.
All Tylaska SS Series lifting hooks are constructed from fully traceable load-bearing components and have undergone extensive destructive and non-destructive testing. This rigorous development process ensures that the hook can be safely used for overhead lifting and meets the requirements set out in the European Commission’s Machinery Directive 2006/42. As a result, the SS20L is CE marked for use as a certified lifting accessory.
It is important to note that the Safe Working Load of 2000kg is significantly lower than that of the original SS20 sailboat rigging shackle. This reduction reflects the higher factors of safety required for lifting applications and accounts for fatigue considerations in towing and repetitive load scenarios. The stated Working Load Limit must never be exceeded.
The clevis bail configuration provides a secure, articulated attachment point, making the SS20L suitable for a wide range of marine, architectural and industrial lifting applications where both visual finish and certified load capacity are critical.
For applications demanding certified overhead lifting performance combined with the elegance of polished stainless steel, the Tylaska SS20L Plunger Pin Certified Lifting Hook – Clevis Bail delivers engineered strength, traceability and regulatory compliance.
