Crane Hook Assembly

At the heart of every safe and efficient lifting operation lies a critical component: the crane hook assembly. Weihua, a globally recognized leader in material handling solutions, engineers and manufactures crane hook assemblies that set the benchmark for strength, durability, safety, and performance. Designed to meet the rigorous demands of diverse industries, a Weihua crane hook assembly is your trusted partner for lifting heavy loads with confidence.

Engineered for Uncompromising Strength & Safety

• Premium Materials & Forging: Weihua hook assemblies utilize high-tensile alloy steels, precision-forged under strict quality control. This process ensures superior grain structure, eliminating internal flaws and maximizing load-bearing capacity and impact resistance.

• Rigorous Testing: Every hook assembly undergoes non-destructive testing (NDT) like magnetic particle inspection and ultrasonic testing, alongside proof load testing far exceeding rated capacities. This guarantees structural integrity and compliance with international safety standards (ISO, Femelle, ASME, GB).

• Safety Latch Options: Standard or optional Latch de sécurité à crochet de grue (spring-loaded or positive locking) are available to securely retain slings, chains, or other attachments, preventing accidental disengagement – a fundamental safety feature.

• Precision Machining: Critical bearing surfaces and throat openings are precisely machined to ensure smooth operation, optimal load distribution, and compatibility with lifting accessories.

Versatile Designs for Every Application

Weihua offers a comprehensive range of crane hook assemblies to suit specific lifting needs:

• Single Hook Assemblies: The most common type, ideal for a wide variety of general lifting tasks using slings, shackles, or directly attaching to loads. Available in numerous capacities and shank configurations (eye, clevis).

• Ramshorn Hook (Crane Double Hook) Assemblies: Provide balanced lifting points for long or bulky loads, improving stability and reducing load swing. Essential for applications like steel coil handling or long beams.

• Swivel Hook Assemblies: Incorporate robust swivel bearings between the hook and the shank. This allows the hook and load to rotate freely, preventing dangerous load spin during lifting and positioning, especially crucial with multi-leg slings or long lifts.

• Specialized Hook Assemblies: Designed for unique applications, such as foundry hooks (heat resistant), container hooks, or hooks with specific rotation limits.

Key Features & Benefits of Weihua Crane Hook Assemblies:

• Exceptional Load Capacity Range: Available from modest capacities for light-duty applications to massive hooks handling hundreds of tons, meeting the needs of any Weihua crane or hoist.

• Superior Durability & Long Service Life: Robust construction and premium materials resist wear, déformation, and fatigue, minimizing downtime and replacement costs.

• Enhanced Safety & Reliability: Engineered and tested to the highest standards, providing peace of mind for operators and site personnel.

• Smooth Operation: Precision bearings (in swivel types) and machined surfaces ensure low-friction movement and easy attachment/detachment of loads.

• Global Standards Compliance: Designed and certified to meet or exceed major international safety and performance regulations.

• Compatibility: Seamlessly integrates with Weihua cranes, hoists, and a wide range of standard lifting accessories.

• Traceability: Each hook assembly is marked with its unique load rating, serial number (where applicable), and manufacturer details for full traceability and inspection history.
