Forklift crane hook

In warehousing logistics, equipment maintenance or temporary lifting scenarios, traditional cranes are often costly and lack maneuverability. Weihua’s innovatively designed forklift crane hook (special lifting crane hook for forklifts) allows standard forklifts to be upgraded to mobile mini-cranes in 3 seconds! Through the perfect combination of high-strength hook components and intelligent safety locks, we provide you with a low-cost, highly flexible heavy object lifting solution.

Why choose Weihua forklift crane hook?

1. Installation in seconds · Plug and play forklift

• Patented quick connector system:

  • Suitable for mainstream brand forklifts.

  • No tools required, one person can complete hook/fork switching in 3 seconds.

• Modification-free design: directly utilize the existing hydraulic attachment interface of the forklift to retain the original vehicle load capacity.

2. Military grade safety structure

• One-piece forged hook body:

  • Material: AISI 4140 alloy steel (tensile strength ≥1200 MPa).

  • Safety factor ≥5:1, far exceeding ISO 10535 standard.

• Triple insurance mechanism: Mechanical self-locking tongue (anti-decoupling); Dual redundant safety pins (to prevent accidental unlocking); Overload alarm module (optional, 110% load whistle).

• CE certification + ISO 10535 test report: third-party certificate provided with goods.

3. Scenario-based hoisting optimization design

• Low headroom compact type: the distance from hook tip to fork frame is ≤200mm (standard fork position), maximizing the use of lifting height.

• 360° rotating bearing: the load direction can be manually adjusted during hoisting to avoid rope entanglement.

• Modular expansion interface: can be installed:

  • Electronic scale (accuracy ±0.5%).

  • Double hook balancing beam (asymmetrical loading).

  • Magnetic chuck (steel plate lifting).

4. Wide-area load coverage

Model	Safe working load	Applicable forklift tonnage	Hook width	Featured scenes
WH-FH1	1 ton	1.5~3t	60mm	Warehouse equipment maintenance
WH-FH3	3 ton	3~5t	80mm	Mold/mechanical component lifting
WH-FH5	5 ton	5~8t	100mm	Small container unpacking
WH-FH10	10 ton	10t+	150mm	Factory equipment installation

5. Anti-corrosion and durable · Optimal life cycle cost

• Surface strengthening process:

  • Shot peening (anti-fatigue) + hot-dip galvanizing (anti-corrosion).

  • Optional stainless steel version (food/chemical industry).

• Self-lubricating bearings: 10,000 hours maintenance-free.

Forklift crane hook application scenarios

Container cargo unpacking operation

• Pain point: Large equipment cannot be taken out with forks, and the cost of hiring a crane is $500+/hour.

• Weihua plan:

  • WH-FH5 hook + lifting strap.

  • The forklift drives directly into the container and lifts out the heavy objects.

  • Cost comparison: save 80% on rental fees.

Quick replacement of production line molds

• Pain point: Changing the mold of the injection molding machine requires two people to operate the crane, which takes 30 minutes.

• Weihua plan:

  • WH-FH3 hook + mold special lifting beam.

  • One person completes air transfer of mold in 5 minutes.

  • Efficiency improvement: mold change time is reduced by 83%.

Emergency maintenance of outdoor equipment

• Pain point: There is no crane in the field, and it is difficult to disassemble and assemble the diesel engine.

• Weihua plan:

  • WH-FH10 hook + anti-sway chain.

  • The forklift moves to the fault point to lift the component.

  • Value: Repair time shortened to 1/4.

FAQ

Q：Can the forklift crane hook be used as an ordinary fork?

A：cannot! This is an accessory specially designed for lifting. It is necessary to switch to the fork mode for pallet handling, and the switching time only takes 3 seconds.

Q：How do I confirm if my forklift can be installed?

A：Just provide: ① forklift model ② photo of attachment interface ③ hydraulic pressure value.

Weihua engineers will provide feedback on compatibility reports within 24 hours.

Q：How to control the center of gravity of the forklift during lifting?

A：Must comply with:

① The load is always directly in front of the fork.

② Lifting height ≤ 1/2 of vehicle height.

③ Install Weihua balance stabilizer (optional).
