The overhead crane hook is one of the most essential components in any lifting operation. Weihua, a global leader in crane manufacturing, offers a full range of overhead crane hooks designed to deliver uncompromising safety, exceptional durability, and efficient load handling. Whether your operations involve heavy-duty steel manufacturing or warehouse logistics, Weihua crane hooks are engineered to perform under extreme conditions.

Product Structure & Types

Weihua overhead crane hooks are categorized based on their structure, capacity, and application scenarios:

1. Hook Types

• Single Crane Hook: Compact and lightweight, ideal for smaller loads and general-purpose cranes.

• Double Crane Hook: Offers better load balance, commonly used in high-capacity cranes for heavy lifting.

• Laminated Hook: Built by stacking multiple steel plates, offering high mechanical strength and fracture resistance. Perfect for ultra-heavy loads and high-risk operations.

2. Construction

• Forged from high-grade carbon steel or alloy steel, each hook undergoes precision machining and heat treatment to ensure:

  • High tensile strength

  • Resistance to deformation and cracking

  • Excellent fatigue performance for long-term use

3. Hook Assembly Options

• With Hook Block: Integrated pulley sheaves and bearings for smooth rope movement.

• Rotatable Hook: Swivel design allows 360° rotation, improving maneuverability during lifting.
