Crane hooks are available in a wide range of configurations based upon their size, their load capacity and their intended use. It should therefore come as no surprise that there are a number of crane hook types of choose from. These include:
Let us now take a look at each of these types in slightly greater detail.
This being said, when you’re looking to define crane hooks depending on their shape, you will usually be able to choose between single crane and double crane hooks. As the name suggests, the main difference between these two options is the number of hooks included, and there are different sub-types possible such as the C-hooks (which is essentially a single hook variant with a slightly different shape).
These type of crane hooks are the right choice if your machinery deals with loads of up to 75 tons; this lifting hook is very simple and easy to use no matter which variant you choose.
They are similar in conception, but their design provides superior bearing which is suitable for heavier loads of over 75 tons.
When it comes to the manufacturing methods used to create crane hooks, there are two main styles available: forging crane hooks and laminated crane hooks. Each option offers particular benefits and drawbacks that must be kept in mind while deciding which is better suited for our specific requirements.
These hooks are forged from a single piece of high quality steel with low carbon which is cooled slowly to ensure optimum stress resistance (usually ranging from 16Mn to 36MnSi). These hooks typically feature very simple manufacturing and are also very simple to use, since they’re made of a single piece, with installation being very straightforward.
They are a little more complex, and are comprised of several steel plates riveted together to ensure higher stress resistance and increased safety. These hooks are conceived in a way that allows the hook to keep working even if some of the individual crane hook parts are damaged. Laminated hooks are available as single hooks or double laminated hooks, and there are several models available to match different applications.
If you’re concerned about having the right hook attachments, then you have to choose between closed and semi-closed crane hooks. These different types of hooks feature an attachment for added security for carrying heavy loads; as the name suggests, the attachment can be closed or semi-closed.
The closed crane hooks attachments are somewhat harder to use and more time-consuming, but they offer the highest possible safety measures and load bearing potential.
They aim to bridge the gap, as they offer increased security levels compared to standard lifting hooks, while being reasonably simpler to attach and dismount than closed hooks.
If you have a requirement for a state of the art crane hook that offers the best features as well as the highest convenience, you will likely have to choose between electric rotary hooks or other types of sophisticated crane hooks.
An electric rotary hook is a sophisticated piece of equipment that will improve the crane’s manoeuvrability and effectiveness when hauling containers. These hooks feature the ability to rotate while keeping a strong hold on the cargo, which means they can be extremely convenient and productive in situations that involve moving many containers around limited spaces.
