Gunnebo Johnson

Gunnebo Johnson makes one of the best and most well-known line of lifting products in the rigging industry including chain, fittings, swivels and blocks. We stock their Grade 100 hooks, couplers and master links and use them almost daily in making chain slings for overhead lifting.

Their Oval Master Links are used on all kinds of assemblies, including chain slings and wire rope slings. They are affordable, made from Grade 100 steel and generously sized to fit over most common crane hooks. We keep several sizes in stock all year long, so we can usually fill your orders quickly.

In terms of hooks, two of the most common chain hooks we sell are the EGKN Sling Hooks and the GBK Self-Closing Safety Hooks. Both hooks are great for use on chain slings, but the GBK hooks have the added advantage of the interlocking hook tip and a much more durable latching system.

And, Gunnebo recently expanded into the shackle market. Gunnebo now offers Screw Pin Shackles up to 2-1/2" and 55T and Bolt Type Shackles up to 2-1/2" and 120T. They are very high-quality and much more affordable than some other domestic offerings (their shackle is the #1 preferred shackle in the North Sea).
