Lifting Hook

Lifting hooks are typically made of high-strength steel or alloy steel to ensure durability and sufficient load-bearing capacity. These materials are chosen for their ability to withstand heavy loads and resist deformation or breakage under stress. The specific type of steel or alloy used can vary depending on the application and the requirements of the lifting equipment.

Hook Types:

Lifting hooks come in various shapes and sizes to suit different applications. The most common types include:

Clevis Hook: This type of hook has a U-shaped attachment point, often called a clevis, where a pin can be inserted to secure it.

Swivel Hook: Swivel hooks have a rotating mechanism that allows the load to be turned or rotated while suspended.

Sling Hook: Sling hooks are designed for use with wire ropes, slings, or chains and have a latch or clasp to secure the attachment.

Eye Hook: Eye hooks have a closed-loop at the top for attachment to a crane or hoist.

 

Usage:

Lifting hooks are used in conjunction with various lifting equipment, including cranes, hoists, and forklifts. They are attached to the load, and the lifting equipment then raises or lowers the load as needed.
