Lifting Capacity of the Hook and Its Accessories
Our lifting hooks, such as the evo2, are designed with additional features like sensors and mechanisms, making them heavier and bulkier than standard hooks. During the design phase, we focus on optimizing the geometry to accommodate common lifting accessories used by our customers. This ensures compatibility and ease of use.
It’s crucial to verify the size and shape of the lifting accessories your team uses. If they don’t align with the hook’s design, adjustments may be necessary. For instance, a 5-ton ring may not fit properly with an evo2 hook, which could lead to inefficiencies or even safety issues. In such cases, switching to a higher-capacity hook like the evo5 could be the better option.
2. Application – Work Procedures
Different industries have varying lifting needs. Some processes are highly standardized, while others are more flexible. Standardized loads, like paper pulp bales, allow for predictable hook performance. However, non-standardized cargo, such as big bags, requires more careful consideration due to the variability in lifting methods and sling configurations.
For example, the evo2 hook is ideal for paper pulp because its slim tip can easily slip between tight wire wraps. On the other hand, the evo5 hook, with its larger opening, is better suited for handling big bags with multiple handles or large slings. The shape of the evo5 helps keep the load centered, reducing the risk of tipping or improper engagement.
3. Nonoptimal Conditions
Lifting operations are not always performed under perfect conditions. Factors like dynamic loads, unbalanced weights, hyperstatic lifting, and impacts can all affect the performance and safety of your lifting system.
- **Dynamic Load**: Sudden movements or accelerations can increase the forces acting on lifting equipment. These forces must be accounted for to avoid overloading the hook.
- **Unbalanced Load**: When lifting from multiple points, an uneven distribution of weight can cause one hook to bear more stress than others.
- **Hyperstatic Lifting**: Using more than three lifting points can create unpredictable load distributions, increasing the risk of overload.
- **Impacts**: Poor visibility, mechanical errors, or environmental factors can lead to collisions, potentially damaging the hook or compromising its integrity.
In such scenarios, opting for a higher-capacity hook can provide greater durability and safety.
