A gated safety hook includes a structural, load bearing frame, a gate, and a user actuated catch. The gate closes automatically in response to an object being mounted on the hook, the catch automatically moves to lock the gate closed in response to an object being mounted on the hook, and the gate cannot be opened with an object mounted on the hook without engaging against the object.
