About Us
A C-Hook crane is a specially designed lifting device used primarily for handling and transporting coils of materials such as steel, aluminum, or wire. Named for its distinctive "C" shape, the C-Hook is engineered to slide into the center opening (or "eye") of a coil, allowing a crane operator to lift and move the coil securely and efficiently without the need for slings or chains.
Typically constructed from high-strength alloy steel, C-Hooks are built to endure heavy loads and challenging industrial environments. Their design ensures that the load remains balanced during lifting, reducing the risk of tipping or coil damage. Many C-Hooks also include safety features like protective guards, load locks, and counterweights to further secure the coil during transport. C-Hook cranes are commonly used in industries such as steel plants, wire manufacturing facilities, paper mills, and shipping yards where large coils need to be handled with care and precision. Their use not only speeds up the handling process but also minimizes manual labor, enhancing overall workplace safety. One of the biggest advantages of using a C-Hook is its ability to handle coils quickly and reliably. Custom designs are often available to accommodate various coil diameters, widths, and weights. Because of their robust design and operational simplicity, C-Hooks have become an essential tool in material handling operations across many industries.
