Choosing The Right Hook For Your Crane

Cranes are everywhere, and that’s a fact. Cranes are found across almost every industry, from construction to manufacturing and even in transport and logistics. The crane truly powers and empowers. But we want to let you in on a little secret… In case you were not aware, a crane is only as powerful as its hook. Did you know that? Yes, it’s true. It does knock you off your perch a bit, doesn’t it? The huge, majestic crane, dependent on a much smaller item? When you get and utilise the appropriate hook, you can save money and maintain your crane for far longer than you could have done otherwise. The question is, how do you choose the best hook for cranes? And for your cranes in particular…

Making the correct selection is heavily dependent on several factors:

• The type of work performed by the machinery

Different types of industry affect the machinery differently. Is the machine working all day, every day? Is it working to its full capacity or is it idle most of the time?

• The highest weight lifted by the machinery

Another contributing factor to deciding about the best hook for a particular crane is to pinpoint the best highest weight which the crane is expected to lift in the course of its daily work. It is imperative to ensure that the hook has the capacity to lift the highest weight possible that this machine has to lift. This is to ensure that the crane will be enabled to work to its highest capacity and not over-utilized

• The industry in which the machine is working

Depending on the industry in which the machine is working, it may be exposed to different conditions and factors, which, in their own way, contribute to the wear and tear on the machine. The hook to be decided on has to be compatible with all of that.

You may be assured that for every crane, there is an optimum hook which will enable it to carry out its work to the optimum level.
