Tylaska SS20L Plunger Pin Certified Lifting Hook – Standard Bail
The Tylaska SS20L Plunger Pin Certified Lifting Hook – Standard Bail is a CE marked, overhead-rated lifting hook engineered for applications requiring certified lifting performance combined with the clean aesthetics of polished stainless steel. With a Safe Working Load of 2000kg, it is specifically designed and tested for lifting use in compliance 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, delivering excellent strength, durability and corrosion resistance. The hook incorporates a robust plunger pin latch mechanism, providing secure closure with positive, controlled release.
Although based on the well-known SS20 sailing shackle geometry, the SS20L lifting hook has undergone a complete redesign of its engineering and manufacturing processes. This ensures it meets the stringent requirements for certified overhead lifting applications rather than general sailing use.
All Tylaska lifting hooks are constructed from fully traceable load-bearing materials and have been subjected to comprehensive destructive and non-destructive testing. This rigorous validation process ensures safe use for overhead lifting and full compliance with the European Commission’s Machinery Directive 2006/42. The SS20L is therefore CE marked for use as a certified lifting accessory.
It is important to note that the 2000kg Safe Working Load is significantly lower than that of the original SS20 sailboat rigging shackle. This reduced Working Load Limit reflects the higher safety factors required for lifting applications and accounts for high-cycle fatigue in towing and repetitive load scenarios. The stated Working Load Limit must never be exceeded.
The standard bail configuration provides a straightforward, strong attachment point suitable for a variety of marine, architectural and industrial lifting environments where both appearance and certified load capacity matter.
For users who require a compact, CE certified stainless steel lifting hook with proven engineering integrity, the Tylaska SS20L Plunger Pin Certified Lifting Hook – Standard Bail offers strength, traceability and regulatory compliance in one refined package.
