Yes. The Peck & Hale H44-3 Release-A-Matic Hook can be used with lifting-grade chain, provided the chain sling meets applicable OSHA and ASME standards, has a working load limit (WLL) of at least 4,500 lbs., and is connected to the hook using suitable, properly rated attachment hardware. The complete assembly must be rated according to its lowest-capacity component.
