The hook’s quick-connect feature allows for fast attachment and detachment, improving efficiency and reducing downtime during lifting operations.


Product Parameters

Parameter             Details            
Rated Lifting Capacity             Available in a wide range such as 500 lb, 1000 lb, 2000 lb, 5000 lb, 10000 lb, 12000 lb, etc. It determines the maximum weight the hook can safely lift under normal conditions.
Material             Constructed from high-quality forged steel, often alloys like 40Cr or 42CrMo. Forged steel offers enhanced strength and toughness, making it suitable for demanding applications.
Surface Treatment             Majority are hot-dip galvanized or powder-coated for corrosion resistance. Hot-dip galvanization creates a thick zinc layer (80-120μm) for long-lasting protection in harsh conditions.
Hook Opening Size             Common sizes include 50mm, 75mm, 100mm, 125mm. The opening accommodates wire rope slings, chain slings, or synthetic slings, improving efficiency during lifting operations.
Hook Body Length             Generally ranges from 150mm to 500mm depending on the model. Longer hooks provide extra reach, while shorter ones are more compact for precise handling.
Hook Body Width             Typically between 30mm and 80mm. A wider hook body distributes the load evenly, improving stability during lifting, especially for large or awkward loads.
Connection Method             Features bolt-on or pin-type connections. Bolt-on connections ensure a tight fit for high-stress applications, while pin-type connections allow easy installation and removal.
Safety Working Load (SWL)             Equivalent to the rated lifting capacity, indicating the maximum load the hook can safely carry under normal conditions.
Safety Factor             Designed to withstand loads up to four times its rated capacity in short-term, emergency situations. A high safety factor ensures protection in dynamic and unexpected conditions.
Working Temperature Range             Operates between -20°C and 80°C. Extreme temperatures outside this range can compromise the hook’s strength and flexibility.
Latch Type (if applicable)             Some hooks feature a robust cast steel latch or spring-loaded safety latch to prevent accidental slippage, offering high strength and quick engagement.

Product Applications

Automotive and Off-Road Recovery

Perfect for vehicle rescue and towing operations, such as pulling stuck vehicles from mud or snow, or moving damaged vehicles short distances.


Construction and Building Industry

Ideal for lifting and moving heavy construction materials (steel beams, concrete blocks, etc.) using cranes or hoists.


Marine and Shipyard Operations

Used in marinas and shipyards for lifting boats, anchors, and marine equipment, offering resistance to corrosion from saltwater.


Mining and Heavy Industry

Provides reliable lifting for mining machinery parts and material transport in harsh, high-stress conditions.


Agriculture and Farming

Aids in lifting and relocating heavy agricultural equipment, such as harvesters, and hoisting hay bales in storage areas.


Logistics and Warehousing

Essential for lifting and handling heavy pallets or crates in warehouses and during shipping operations.



Product Operate Guide

1. Pre-Operation Inspection    

Before use, thoroughly inspect the hook and related equipment to identify potential hazards:
  • Check for Damage: Examine the hook body for cracks, deformation, or excessive wear (e.g., bent tips, worn latch mechanisms). Pay special attention to the hook’s "throat" (curved area) and connection points—these are high-stress zones.

  • Verify Latch Function: Ensure the safety latch (if equipped) moves freely and closes securely. A faulty latch increases the risk of load slippage.

  • Confirm Load Rating: Check that the hook’s rated lifting capacity (SWL) exceeds the weight of the load being lifted. Never exceed the rated capacity, even temporarily.

  • Inspect Surface Condition: Ensure the galvanized or coated surface is intact. Rust or corrosion may weaken the hook’s structural integrity.

  • Check Compatibility: Confirm the hook’s opening size and connection method (e.g., bolt/pin) are compatible with the lifting sling (wire rope, chain, etc.) and winch/crane being used.


2. Preparing the Load and Sling

  • Secure the Load: Ensure the load is stable and balanced. Unstable loads (e.g., loose materials) may shift during lifting, causing overload or slippage.

  • Attach the Sling: Connect the lifting sling to the load using appropriate methods (e.g., shackles, loops). Ensure the sling is in good condition (no fraying, cuts, or kinks).


3. Attaching the Hook to the Sling

  • Open the Latch: If the hook has a spring-loaded safety latch, pull it open to expose the hook’s throat.

  • Position the Sling: Place the sling’s loop or connection point deep into the hook’s throat, ensuring it sits securely against the hook’s curve (avoid placing the sling near the tip, as this may cause slippage).

  • Close the Latch: Release the safety latch to lock it in place. Confirm the latch fully engages with the hook’s tip to prevent the sling from slipping out.


4. Connecting the Hook to the Winch/Crane

  • Align the Connection: Position the hook’s base (where it attaches to the winch or crane) with the equipment’s connection point (e.g., winch cable end, crane hook).

  • Secure the Connection: Use the designated method (e.g., insert a pin and lock it, tighten bolts) to fasten the hook. Ensure all hardware is tightened to the manufacturer’s specifications—loose connections can fail under load.


5. Lifting and Operating

  • Test Lift: Perform a "test lift" by raising the load 2–3 inches (5–7 cm) off the ground. Pause to check:

    • The hook, sling, and load remain stable.

    • The safety latch stays closed.

    • No unusual sounds (e.g., creaking, snapping) occur, which may indicate overload or stress.

  • Lift Gradually: If the test lift is successful, continue lifting the load slowly and steadily. Avoid sudden jerks or rapid movements, as these can create dynamic overloads that exceed the hook’s capacity.

  • Monitor the Load: Keep the load clear of obstacles and bystanders during movement. Never stand under or near a suspended load.


6. Lowering and Detaching

  • Lower Slowly: Lower the load gradually to the desired location, maintaining control of the winch/crane at all times.

  • Release Tension: Once the load is safely on the ground, relieve tension from the sling and hook by loosening the winch or crane.

  • Detach the Hook: Open the safety latch, remove the sling from the hook’s throat, and disconnect the hook from the winch/crane if not in immediate use.


7. Post-Operation Maintenance

  • Clean the Hook: Wipe away dirt, grease, or debris with a dry cloth. For hooks used in wet or corrosive environments (e.g., marine settings), rinse with fresh water and dry thoroughly.

  • Inspect Again: Check for any new damage (e.g., dents, latch wear) that may have occurred during use.

  • Store Properly: Hang the hook in a dry, clean area (avoid contact with moisture or harsh chemicals). Apply a light coat of oil to metal parts periodically to prevent rust.


            

Important Safety Warnings

  • Never use a damaged hook (cracks, deformation, or worn parts).

  • Do not modify the hook (e.g., bending, welding) as this voids safety certifications and weakens the structure.

  • Keep hands and fingers clear of the hook’s throat and latch during attachment/detachment to avoid pinching.

  • Only trained personnel should operate lifting equipment and hooks.
