Skidding hook

Accessory complementary to chains and cables

The skidding hook is an ideal accessory to complete a pulling system in the forest.
It allows for very quick attachment of a skidding chain around a tree trunk. Once the trunk is moved to the desired location, it also facilitates unhooking.

Depending on the model, it allows the passage of a cable (steel or textile) or will complement another fastening system.

Sliding Hook

The sliding hook is certainly the most common and useful for forestry work.

It is designed to allow the passage of a cable, whether steel or textile like Dyneema. The hook slides easily on the cable. Just like a sliding shackle, the sliding hook allows for easy attachment of a skidding chain to a tree trunk and easily follows the movements of the cable. Logs are moved more easily over all types of terrain.

Skidding Hook with Latch

Sliding hooks with latches are very popular because they provide additional safety.
The latch effectively prevents unintentional unhooking of the chain, while remaining easy and quick to use.

Moderate or Occasional Use

Here you will find a versatile range of lifting and pulling hooks.

Made of grade 80 / class 8 steel, they are perfect for occasional use or for individuals.

Our range of red hooks can be used for both pulling and lifting heavy loads.

For very demanding forestry work, it is preferable to opt for grade 10 steel hooks.

Check Pulling Capacity

The most important thing when choosing a skidding hook for forestry work is to properly check its pulling capacity.
The pulling capacity, indicated as WLL, is expressed in tons. It indicates the maximum pulling load that a hook can withstand.

For the safety of personnel and forestry equipment on the site, it is essential to check the WLL.
