Overview of Crane hook

Crane hook is one kind of material handling devices, a tool used to lift and move loads. Crane hooks can be divided into different categories, such as single hooks, double hooks, C-shaped hooks, and laminated plate hooks.

The single hook is simple to produce and is frequently used by cranes to lift items weighing no more than 75 tons.

Large capacity cranes frequently use two hooks due to the favorable loading conditions.

The laminated plate hook is a type of load hook that is made up of many sheets or discrete segments and is joined together by rivets. The laminated plate hook is primarily used to move heavy loads, such as casting ladles filled with molten liquid materials.

Types of crane hook

Crane hooks can be divided into several categories based on various standards, including single and double hooks, forging and laminated hooks, closed and semi-closed hooks, and additional hooks such electric rotary hooks. These varieties of crane hooks are frequently employed in a variety of applications, depending on their various qualities.

1) Concerning hooks' design

Crane hooks can be classified in to single hook, C type hook, and double hook, etc.

For handling weights weighing less than 75 tons, a single crane hook is typically employed. It has the advantages of being easily manufactured and convenient to use, etc.

The double Crane hook is frequently used to handle high loads because of its excellent bearing capacity.

2) Manufacturing techniques

Forging hook and laminated hook are two different categories of crane hooks that can be based on production techniques.

Forging hook

High-quality low carbon steel or low carbon alloy steel, such as 20 high-quality low carbon steel, 16Mn, 20MnSi, and 36MnSi, which is annealed after forging, is used to make the forging hook.

Although the forging hook is simple to make and simple to use, its stress condition is not as excellent as the laminated hook. Therefore, loads under 80 tons are often handled by the forging hook. And while managing huge weights, double hooks will be used.

Laminated hook

Steel plates are welded together with laminated hooks. The laminated hook offers excellent safety since even if one plate is flawed, the entire hook can still function without suffering damage. Laminated hooks are frequently employed with big lifting capacity cranes, such as steel ladle cranes, due to their high safety and enormous dead weight.

Laminated hooks also can be grouped into into single hooks and double hooks.

3) Closed crane hook and semi-closed crane hooks

4) Electric rotary hook

5) Other types of crane hooks
