Automatic Crane Hook

Weihua’s automatic crane hook is a state-of-the-art lifting solution designed to enhance operational efficiency, safety, and automation in material handling processes. Engineered with advanced technology, this hook enables remote operation, eliminating the need for manual engagement and disengagement, thus minimizing worker exposure to hazardous environments.

Product Overview

Weihua’s automatic crane hook is a wireless-controlled, battery-powered smart lifting device that automates the hooking and unhooking process without manual assistance. It supports integration with overhead cranes, gantry cranes, and jib cranes. The hook can rotate, lock, and release loads via a remote controller or be integrated with a full automation system in smart factories.

Automatic Crane Hook Key Features & Technologies

1. Automatic Hooking & Unhooking Mechanism

The hook uses a motorized locking pin or rotating latch system to automatically attach or release loads, drastically reducing downtime between lifts. Perfect for repetitive, high-volume operations.

2. Remote Wireless Control

Equipped with industrial-grade remote control (RF or Bluetooth), operators can control the hook from a safe distance — up to 100 meters — ensuring safety and operational flexibility in hazardous or hard-to-reach environments.

3. Advanced Safety Systems

• Mechanical crane hook safety latch for secure load locking

• Anti-sway sensors to stabilize load during movement

• Load monitoring system for real-time data feedback (optional)

• Fail-safe lock to prevent accidental opening under load

• Emergency manual release in case of power failure

4. High-Capacity Rechargeable Battery

• Lithium battery with 8–12 hours of continuous use

• Fast-charging system (full charge within 2–3 hours)

• Intelligent battery management system (BMS) for voltage protection and low-battery alarm

• Optional wireless charging pad

5. 360° Rotating Hook (Optional)

Some models are equipped with a rotatable hook body, allowing for smooth and accurate load alignment, minimizing repositioning time.

6. Robust Structural Design

• Made from high-tensile alloy steel with heat treatment

• Corrosion-resistant coating for outdoor or marine use

• IP65 protection rating for dust and water resistance

7. Integration Ready

Can be integrated into PLC-based crane automation systems, AGVs, or MES systems for unmanned lifting operations in smart factories.
