A crane hook is a core component of lifting machinery, designed for suspending, grasping, and transporting heavy loads. It is typically manufactured from high-strength alloy steel through forging or constructed with a laminated steel plate structure, offering exceptional load-bearing capacity and impact resistance. Its design must comply with stringent safety standards to ensure operational stability and reliability
Feature of Crane Hooks:
Forged alloy steel or laminated plate structure with high tensile strength and wear resistance.
Equipped with safety latches, load limiters, or self-locking mechanisms on select hooks to prevent accidental disengagement.
Compatible with slings, pulley blocks, electromagnetic lifters, and other rigging accessories for versatile applications.
Surface treatments (e.g., galvanizing, powder coating) enhance corrosion resistance, ensuring durability in humid or corrosive environments.
Application of Crane Hooks:
1. Construction Sites: Single hooks or double hooks are utilized for lifting steel rebars, precast components, and similar materials.
2. Ports & Terminals: Rotating hooks integrated with container spreaders ensure efficient loading and unloading of cargo.
3. Metallurgical Industry: Heat-resistant hooks handle high-temperature materials such as molten steel ladles and ingots.
4. Manufacturing: Non-magnetic hooks are employed for precision equipment installation to prevent magnetic interference.
5. Emergency Rescue: Lightweight hooks enable rapid removal of obstacles or rescue operations in critical situations.
Classification of Crane Hooks
1. By Structural Design:
1.1 Single Hook: Simple structure, ideal for light-duty lifting operations (e.g., construction sites, small equipment handling).
1.2 Double Hook: Symmetrical design ensures balanced load distribution, primarily used for heavy-duty applications (e.g., ports, metallurgical industries).
1.3 Rotating Hook: Equipped with a slewing bearing for 360° rotation, suitable for scenarios requiring angle adjustment (e.g., container loading/unloading).
1.4 Ramshorn Hook (Anti-Slip Hook): Inward-curved tip design prevents sling disengagement, ensuring high safety (e.g., shipbuilding, aerial work platforms).
2. By Load Capacity:
Light-Duty (<10 tons), Medium-Duty (10–50 tons), Heavy-Duty (>50 tons).
3. By Application:
General-Purpose Hooks, Metallurgical Hooks (high-temperature resistant), Non-Magnetic Hooks (for precision instrument handling), and others.
