Excavator hooks mount to an excavator's quick coupler or bucket linkage, turning the machine into a lifting point for material handling and clean-up picks on a job site rather than digging.
Most excavator hooks ship with a latch across the throat, since they're handling slung loads the same way a crane hook would once mounted. Mounting hardware and latch style both vary by coupler brand - check the specific listing.
Working load limit on the excavator hook depends on size, grade, and style, so it's stamped on the hook body and shown on the tag or certificate rather than as one figure for the whole category. Manufacturer documentation for most hook styles also notes that loading off the saddle, rather than centered in the bowl, can reduce rated capacity. Rated capacity of the hook itself is also separate from the excavator's own lift-rating plate, and the lower of the two governs.
Inspection programs for excavator hooks typically look for throat spread versus the manufacturer's original dimension, bending, cracks, corrosion, and a latch that won't close. Most programs pair a quick check before each use with a periodic documented inspection, and any of those signs is normally treated as a discard signal. The coupler mounting interface is checked for wear or looseness in addition to the hook body, since that's the connection to the machine.
