Notch-type connector 096000
This two-part connector consists of a hook and an oval ring. The oval ring has a notch on one long side which allows it to be slotted into the hook. The ring's oval shape ensures that it is aligned automatically in the direction of pull.
An exact fit and true shape guarantee safe towing.
Chemically nickel-plated parts, load capacity 1500 daN without deformation, compact design, mass only 116 g. Connect using a 8 mm shackle (112800).
Oval ring (096005) and hook (096010) can be ordered separately.

Ring pairs should be visually checked at regular intervals and replaced if necessary.
