Forged crane hooks are among the most commonly used types of hooks for hanging loads or gripping devices. According to the shape, we distinguish single and double designs, manufactured in dimensions according to DIN 15400.
The length of the hook is adapted to the specific pulley and the quality of the thread for hanging and its smooth transition into the shank without any indentations is particularly important to ensure safe load transfer. The thread can be metric, round or trapezoidal depending on the load capacity and application. We supply forged hooks as part of new pulleys and as spare parts for crane repairs and upgrades.
Slat hooks are load hooks assembled from multiple steel slats, designed primarily for transporting hot liquid materials in casting pans, but also other large loads.
The individual slats are riveted together so that the hook safely carries high loads even in harsh metallurgical environments. The seating surface of the hook is designed with an insert that ensures a reliable fit of the pan pin and an even load distribution on all slats.
The design must take into account the often very high operating temperatures and operating conditions to ensure safe and reliable operation over the long term.
