Below-the-hook devices offer a number of advantages for heavy lifts in a variety of material handling applications. They help to prevent accidents by ensuring that the load is secure and balanced and can be customized using a wide range of attachments and lifting designs. Due to the wide range of potential use cases, most below-the-hook equipment is custom designed and manufactured. To ensure that your lift design is ideal for your application, it is important to take into account the intended usage of the crane, weight limits, motion requirements, and the environment in which the crane will operate. In addition, all below-the-hook devices must be compliant with relevant OSHA standards, ASME B30.20, and ASME BTH-1.
