Crane C Hooks For Steel Coil Lifting

Crane C Hooks for Steel Coil Lifting

C-hook coil grabs are essential equipment in the material handling industry, specifically designed for the safe, efficient, and effortless lifting and handling of heavy metal coils and wire. They come in various styles, from simple C-hooks to rotating C-hooks, tailored for different coil handling tasks.

These lifting devices hang below the hook and can easily attach to the hook of your overhead crane, making them an ideal solution for coil handling applications in steel mills, processing centers, fabrication shops, and warehouses.

Small C Hooks

Composed of the lifting body and counterweight iron.
Lifting Body: The main part of the C hook is assembled from steel plates and steel pipes, forming a box-type cross-sectional structure. It offers excellent bending and torsion resistance, making the hook lightweight and durable with a long service life.
Counterweight Iron: Serves to balance the hook, ensuring that the center of gravity of the hook and the lifted object lies on the same vertical line.
Applications: Mainly used for handling steel coils, coil tempering, warehouse stacking and storage, as well as transportation and loading/unloading. Commonly used in steel plants. Custom designs can be provided based on specific operational requirements.

Double C Hooks

Composed of the lifting body and connecting rigging.
Lifting Body: Constructed from steel plates and steel pipes, with a box-type cross-sectional structure. It offers excellent resistance to bending and torsion, making the hook lightweight and durable with a long service life.
Connecting Rigging: Connects the double hooks on both ends of the beam. The hooks are hung on a grooved steel beam and can be adjusted according to the width of the object.
Applications: Used for handling horizontal steel coils, with adjustable positioning to accommodate coils of different widths.

Rotating C Hooks

Rotatable: Its rotation feature allows steel coils to be rotated at any angle, making loading, unloading, and repositioning more convenient.
Electric Drive System: Equipped with an electric drive system that enables easy and safe rotation of the steel coils.
Applications: Mainly used for horizontal lifting of steel coils. Suitable for coil handling, coil tempering, warehouse stacking and storage, as well as transportation and loading/unloading. Custom designs are available based on specific operational requirements.

Narrow Coil C Hooks

The main body is assembled from steel plates and steel pipes, featuring a box-type cross-sectional structure. It offers excellent resistance to bending and torsion, making the hook lightweight and durable with a long service life.
Mainly used for horizontal lifting of small-tonnage steel coils, with a load capacity range of 1–3 tons (customization available).
Lightweight and flexible in handling, easy to assemble and disassemble. This hook is designed specifically for coils with small tonnage and short dimensions.

Fork C Hooks

Mainly used for horizontal lifting of double steel coils and wire rods, composed of the lifting body and counterweight iron.
Lifting Body: Constructed from steel plates and steel pipes, featuring a box-type cross-sectional structure. It provides excellent resistance to bending and torsion, making the hook lightweight and durable with a long service life.
Counterweight Iron: Serves to balance the hook, ensuring that the center of gravity of the hook and the lifted object is aligned on the same vertical line.
Applications: Widely used in hot rolling and cold rolling workshops of steel mills, and also suitable for lifting horizontal coils in yards, docks, and similar locations.

Crane C Hooks for Wire Rod Coil

Primarily used for the horizontal lifting and handling of wire rod coils and steel coils. It mainly consists of a lifting body and counterweight iron.
Lifting body: Made of steel plates and steel pipes, assembled into a box-shaped cross-section structure. It offers excellent resistance to bending and torsion, resulting in a lightweight design with long service life.
Counterweight iron: Serves to balance the lifting device, ensuring the center of gravity of both the hook and the lifted load aligns on the same vertical line.
It can be specially designed according to specific application requirements.

Features of Crane C Hooks

Low cost and easy maintenance.
Counterweight structure ensures self-balancing during lifting operations.
Requires specific spacing between steel coils or a defined lifting sequence.
Hook curvy zones and coatings to avoid damage, under customer's request.

Maintenance of Crane C Hooks

After use, the C hook must be placed on a designated rack and stored in a well-ventilated, dry, and clean facility under the care of authorized personnel.
The surface of the C hook should be regularly protected against rust. It must not be stored in environments containing acids, alkalis, salts, chemical gases, or moisture.
The C hook must not be stored in high-temperature areas.
Rotating parts should be cleaned regularly, and lubricating oil should be applied periodically to prevent dry friction and jamming.

Application of Crane C Hooks

The crane C hook is a specialized lifting device commonly used for handling coil-shaped materials such as steel coils, aluminum coils, and copper coils. In addition to its primary function of coil handling, the crane C hook also serves in the following applications:
