Choosing the Right Hook Sometimes, deciding on the appropriate hook for a specific task can be quite challenging. While load capacity is a critical factor, it’s not the only one to consider. Other aspects like the geometry of the hook and its compatibility with lifting accessories play a significant role in ensuring an efficient and safe lifting process. Factors such as the ease of engagement, transport, and release of the load are equally important. The Right Fit Matters Our products often face competition from other hooks, but because Elebia hooks come equipped with mechanisms, sensors, and other features, they tend to be bulkier and heavier. During the design phase, we focus on optimizing the geometry of the hooks to accommodate the most common lifting accessories like shackles, chains, and rings. This ensures that the hook can be used effectively without compromising safety or performance. However, it's essential to verify the size and geometry of the lifting accessories you plan to use. Sometimes, customers may need to adjust their accessories to match the hook. For instance, a 5-ton ring might work well with a standard 2.5-ton hook but may not suit the evo2 crane hook. In such cases, either the lifting accessories should be modified for the evo2 crane hook or a higher-capacity hook like the evo5 should be selected.

Some applications are highly standardized, with similar handling practices worldwide, while others are less structured, varying significantly from one company to another. When dealing with standardized loads, a hook that performs well for one client will likely perform just as well for another. However, when the load isn’t standardized, every detail of the lifting procedure needs careful attention. Standardized Loads: The Case of Paper Pulp Paper pulp provides a great example of a standardized load. Typically wrapped tightly with wire, the evo2 crane hook’s slim and small tip makes it ideal for inserting between the wires and the bale, ensuring smooth engagement and transport. In contrast, the evo5’s geometry doesn’t allow for such precise insertion, making it unsuitable for this application. Non-Standardized Loads: Handling Big Bags Big bags represent a non-standardized load type. They can be lifted in various ways—directly from handles, using slings, or through different anchor points. Larger slings can pose challenges when used with the evo2 hook, potentially causing the load to rest on the tip of the forged hook, impairing its functionality. The evo5, being larger, offers better compatibility with the four corner handles of big bags and accommodates larger slings more easily. Its design also helps center the load, preventing it from being lifted solely by the tip. Nonoptimal Conditions It’s not always possible to ensure optimal lifting conditions. External factors, depending on the application and environment, necessitate selecting a hook with a higher load capacity. Key considerations include: - **Dynamic Load**: High accelerations generate additional forces on lifting accessories, increasing the effective weight being lifted. Failing to account for these forces could lead to overload. - **Unbalanced Load**: Unequal distribution of weight among multiple lifting points can overload individual hooks. - **Hyperstatic Lifting**: Lifting with more than three points introduces variability in load distribution, possibly overloading one hook. - **Impacts**: Factors like crane inaccuracy, poor visibility, or operator errors can result in impacts that damage the hook. Higher-capacity models are more resilient to such incidents. Custom Solutions for Your Company At Elebia, we tailor solutions to meet your specific needs.
