Heavy Duty Winch Hook?

[mikey_d05]

Alright, I know I've seen some heavy duty winch hooks with huge sturdy gates on them and I'm 99.9% sure that Warn used to sell them. The blazer/truggy on the cover of Four Wheeler a while back was using one. The hook on the winch I bought is in questionable condition and that's no good. I'd like to upgrade if I'm gonna replace and I can't find the HD ones anywhere, anybody got a link or an off road shop they know of that carries them?

Try and find a hardware type store that sells industrial straps and equipment etc. I got the hook for my winch at a place like that, rated at 9200 lbs working load, and I think the breaking strength is like 4 times that. I paid like $12, and its a lot bigger than the hooks that come with winches, but not super huge.

I know the type, and I was considering one, but there are specialty hooks out there with super sturdy gates on them, not the sheetmetal ones that most of the hardware store ones come with. I was just watching UA 2004 on DVD and quite a few rigs there are using them too, some are yellow and some are red....

The guy that sells the winch rope - IIRC they had them. Just don't recall the name of the place at the moment....

Rockstomper - that's it. Is this what you're looking for? Scroll down for the interlocking safety hookHooks

I don't know how I left Rockstomper out of my search. Thank you very much.

Here is one company that has them. I've never delt with them so don't know how there are to deal with.http://www.recoverygear.com/DEFAULT1.HTM
