Below-the-Hook Lifting Device

When moving a load from one place to another, it is always a priority to ensure safety and efficiency, and using the correct below-the-hook lifting device is the best way to do it.

What is a below-the-hook lifting device?

A below-the-hook lifting device is a mechanical lifting tool that attaches to a lifting apparatus and used to hold the load firmly and securely. It then moves the weight from one place to another.

Most below-the-hook lifting equipment operate mechanically, but can also perform pneumatically, electronically or hydraulically when unique controls are made.

Components of a below-the-hook lifting device

The components that make up below-the-hook lifting gear are a latch, bail, a lifting lug, rigging hardware, a hook, and a gusset. A latch holds the lifter in either an open or closed position. The rigging hardware connects with a lifting lug, which acts as the point of attachment for the rigging equipment through the hook.

The bail is the opening where the hook of the crane holds. Bails can be pin or plate in style. A gusset on these lifting equipment adds sturdiness to the area of extreme stress and usage. The gusset is a well-reinforced welded plate that is solidly built for its purpose.

Types of below-the-hook lifting devices

There are many different types of lifting devices costumed to serve different purposes in the logistics industry.

Gripping lifters

As their name suggests, gripping lifters are used to grip loads. They use indentation or friction, which brings pressure to grip a load and they possess tong grabs that imitate a scissor in how they get hold of a load. Finally, they can be used to either lift or turn a charge after gripping it.

Sheet lifters

They are used for loads made of sheets of wood. With its two claws, they hold a load by wrapping around the edges. The claws have a lip on its lower part to prevent the sheets from falling out of the filter

Beams

A beam is used to provide sufficient protection for the load and also controls the movement of the cargo. Beams are made from fabricated metal and have multiple load-lifting points. But first, let’s look at the various types of beams. They include lifting beams, spreader beams, and spreader bars. Lifting beams are long beams that are heavier than spreader bars. Their advantage is that they have well-reduced headroom for lifting tasks. The spreader beams aid in load balancing and control. Spreader bars are lighter and affordable than lifting beams. Their function is to hold a sling apart to the lifting distance.

Die turners

Die turners are generally used to turn large dies securely instead of flipping the dies.

Magnet lifts

This type of below-the-hook hook lifting gear carries and releases flat or round ferrous objects. They can work with or without electrical connections.

Vacuum lifters

They make a vacuum space to attach the lever to an object using an electric-powered extraction pump and sealed pads.

Pallet lifters

Pallet lifters lift pallets from surfaces using forks.

Mechanical lifters

This lifting equipment is composed of two or more big parts that move in tandem. These parts are used to attach a load to an elevator.

Coil hook

A coil hook allows the coil lifting using its inner diameter. It may be in a horizontal or vertical position. A hook rotator attaches to the lower part of an elevator and powers the rotation of the hook for additional load control.

Drum Turners

Used to rotate drums for filling and emptying.
