For various types of applications, Yuantai Crane develop and manufacture overhead cranes and gantry cranes with coil lifters and C-hooks for steel coil handling. Our coil handling products are specifically engineered to satisfy your requirements and we make sure they fully adhere to industry standards. These specially designed lifting mechanisms allow the lifting of a coil in either a vertical or horizontal position through its inner diameter. For extra weight control, a motorized hook rotator is attached to the bottom block of a hoist and rotates the hook.
C-Hooks, also referred to as Coil lifting hooks, are constructed in a variety of ways, giving you flexibility and efficiency in how you manage your lifting tasks. The lifting, hauling, and/or stacking of steel coils, sheet steel, paper rolls, and heavy-duty material handling are the most typical uses for C-hooks.
Your company will be able to do the following and more with the right coil lifting hooks:
- Effective coil handling by attending to your lifting efficiency and various production requirements.
- Lift coils of sheet steel into production quickly and securely,
- and manoeuvre coils through tight spaces to make the most of available production space.
C-hooks options for your horizontal coil handling
The best C-hook for your work will depend on your lifting requirements and be dependent on your material, lifting distance, and clearance. The most popular coil hangers that can be made specifically for your company are listed below.
- The Close Stacking Coil Hook (CSC) allows you to handle coils in small areas thanks to its shorter upper. As long as the coils are flush against a vertical surface, they can be any diameter.
- A longer lift arm on the Silt Coil C-Hook enables the lifter to raise several coils at once that are equivalent to the maximum coil width. The silt coil C-hook is made of high-strength alloy steel and is designed to move easily in small spaces for loading and offloading.
- Hook application information:
- Radius in corners lessens stress concentration points in vulnerable regions without obstructing the lifted item.
- Integral lift loop decreases height and clearance. less upkeep is required than with traditional welded lift loops.
- Arc top to better suit the coil's contour and shield it from being harmed by sharp edges.
- Lifter's guide grips make for simple navigation.

Electro permanent magnet advantages
- Environmental preservation, energy conservation, and economics. Electric permanent magnet systems only use electricity during the magnetic charging and demagnetization processes; they don't require energy during operation, don't cause a temperature increase, and use less electricity than electromagnets by more than 95%.Weights for the lifting permanent magnet and the control system are both light, which lowers the burden on the lifting apparatus and increases lifting capacity.
- High safety.Two distinct types of permanent magnetic materials provide the magnetism for the Electro permanent lifting magnet. Up to 16kgf/cm2 of magnetic energy is the maximum. There is no need for electricity while working, preventing magnetic power loss in the lifting magnet system and the danger of sucked material falling when the power fails suddenly or the connection cable is damaged. With excellent security while using, there was no attenuation, not even after a long period.
- Simple to use.Electronic control operation is simpler to use, requires only 0.1–1 seconds for magnetization and demagnetization, and increases operational productivity. The only upkeep required is to make sure the surface is clean, reliable, long-lasting, maintenance-free, and useful. The permanent magnet system contains no wearing parts, hydraulic oil, compressed air, etc.Even though tiny magnetic particles won't adsorb on the surface of the magnetic pole after demagnetization, there won't be any scratches or adsorption remnants left behind. The surface remaining magnetic force is almost zero.
- Special,flexible design to meet your needs fully.Internally, lifting permanent magnets use a special modular design, dual magnetic source technology, a special production method, and a special internal structure.
- Satisfing function for your application.Since it is unaffected by power outages and does not require a UPS battery auxiliary system, the electro permanent lifting magnet system is very secure. High energy from permanent magnetic materials creates long-lasting suction, constantly ensures material safety, and makes sure that material can only be demagnetized when it is landing, giving end users the highest degree of security.
