Rotating crane hook with swivel

Our Rotating Crane Hook integrates a robust, precision-engineered swivel bearing mechanism directly into the hook assembly. This allows the hook body and attached load to rotate freely through a full 360 degrees independently of the crane cable or chain above it. Say goodbye to dangerous cable twisting, frustrating load repositioning delays, and unnecessary strain on your lifting equipment.

Key Features & Benefits

• 1. Eliminates Cable/Chain Twisting:

  • The integrated swivel bearing prevents dangerous torque buildup in the lifting medium (wire rope, chain, or synthetic sling).
  • Protects your valuable cables/chains from kinking, birdcaging, and premature wear, significantly extending their service life and reducing replacement costs.
  • Enhances overall lifting safety by removing a major cause of instability and potential equipment failure.

• 2. Effortless Load Positioning & Maneuvering:

  • 360-degree free rotation allows operators to easily position loads with pinpoint accuracy, even in confined spaces.
  • No need for manual load spinning – the load naturally finds its balance point and rotates freely as needed during lifting, lowering, and travel.
  • Dramatically reduces cycle times and operator fatigue by simplifying load orientation.

• 3. Enhanced Safety & Stability:

  • Prevents uncontrolled load spinning, a significant hazard during lifting operations.
  • Promotes stable load handling by allowing the load to settle naturally.
  • Reduces the risk of shock loading caused by sudden untwisting of cables.
  • Safety Latch Included: Standard safety latch secures the load onto the hook shank.

• 4. Robust & Reliable Construction:

  • Forged Alloy Steel Crane Hook: Manufactured from high-tensile strength alloy steel (e.g., Grade 80, 100, or meeting DIN 15400/15401, ASME B30.10), ensuring exceptional durability and load-bearing capacity.
  • Precision Swivel Mechanism: Features heavy-duty, sealed ball or roller bearings (often double-row) designed for smooth rotation under full load, high radial capacity, and resistance to shock loads. Seals protect against dust, debris, and moisture ingress.
  • Heat Treated & Stress Relieved: Critical components undergo rigorous heat treatment for optimal strength, toughness, and wear resistance.
  • Durable Finish: Typically electro-galvanized or painted for superior corrosion resistance in demanding environments (construction, marine, manufacturing).

• 5. Versatile Applications:

  • Ideal for: Overhead cranes, gantry cranes, jib cranes, monorails, hoists (electric & manual), winches, spreader beams, and virtually any lifting application where load rotation or cable twisting is an issue.
  • Suited for Industries: Manufacturing, Steel Fabrication, Warehousing & Logistics, Construction, Shipbuilding & Ports, Mining, Energy, Automotive, Aerospace, and General Maintenance.
