Abstract: A self-locking lifting hook is disclosed, of the kind having and arcuate hook body and an upper, pivotable lever with one arm forming a suspension and a second arm forming a closure for the hook opening. A finger element is pivotably mounted at the upper part of the hook so as to close the hook opening, under the influence of a spring, irrespective of the pivotal position of the lever, so that the hook opening is always kept closed, unless the closure arm is swung into its fully open position and, thereafter, the finger element is operated so as to be retracted into its opening position.
