    Figure i would rather pay an engineer here at MDS to figure up loads or even design on weld on hooks for buckets .

    The current weld on hooks do not meet the standards by my client , they want someone to have a weld on hook for 3/8" chain so the chain and hook is equal or the hook is better .

    I can find 6,600# weld on hooks but the chain is 7,700# i need 3/8" weld on hooks that are minimum of 7,700 # .

    This for for a Government Agency so we would need to provide drawings & calculations .

    What jurisdiction?

    If you can't find anyone, let me know and I'll put you in contact with one of the structurals I use for this sort of thing.

    Ken of Bolt On Hooks is a member here. His stuff is the highest quality, his 3/8 weld on hooks are forged in the US, but have a WWL of 6600 lbs.

    And try uscargocontrol.com. They have 3/8 hooks through grade 120 and may have the weld on hooks you need.
