This galvanized hook is designed to restore or upgrade the functionality of your 25mm (1 inch) straps – commonly found on small trailer winches (e.g., for a jet ski or dinghy trailer) as well as on light-duty cargo and tie-down straps. With a maximum load of 1350 kg, the hook is engineered for systems that handle roughly up to 1 ton in dynamic load (typical working load limit around 500 kg), which aligns with straps in the 1-ton category.
- Build Quality: The hook is made from carbon steel of sufficient thickness to provide strength without excessive bulk. After fabrication, it’s galvanized – coated in zinc – which shields the metal from corrosion. This is especially important if it will be used outdoors or in a damp/marine environment. The galvanization gives it a characteristic silvery finish and helps it resist rust, scratches, and impacts during use.
- Design & Compatibility: The hook features an oval eye at one end through which the strap is fed and secured (usually by stitching the strap back onto itself or by using a bolt/pin). The other end is the actual hook opening – an open-ended claw that attaches to an anchor point (such as a loop, ring or eye on your load or vehicle). The hook’s opening dimensions are standardized for small straps, able to engage rings of roughly 12-15 mm diameter. If needed, the design allows for adding extra security – for example, you can insert a shackle or carabiner through the hook to “close” the loop and prevent any chance of it slipping off.
- Easy Replacement/Installation: If you’re replacing an old hook, simply un-stitch or remove the fastener holding the old fitting and attach this new hook. Typically, the webbing is threaded through the eye and then sewn back onto itself (using heavy-duty stitching or a strap press) to lock the hook in place. Alternatively, some straps use a bolt-on attachment – in those cases, you just place the hook and secure it with the bolt. Ensure that your stitching or fastening method can carry the required load (professional bar-tack stitching is recommended for full strength).
- Applications: Beyond trailers, this hook can be used in a variety of scenarios: for example, on ratchet straps for securing cargo – if an original hook has bent or corroded, you can replace it with this one. It’s also handy for DIY projects – creating your own tie-downs for tents, awnings, etc., where you need a sturdy metal end fitting to hook onto something. Its compact size makes it easy to keep a spare or two in your kit. Whether you’re replacing a rusted hook on a PWC trailer winch strap or building a custom lashing system, this 25mm galvanized hook provides a reliable connection you can trust.
