Ramshorn Hook
Focused on heavy-duty lifting, this document outlines technical data for Ramshorn Hooks according to EN 13001-3-5 Annex B (previously DIN 15402). It emphasizes optimized bending radii for wire rope protection and provides detailed capacity ratings for various crane groups. Technical tables map hook numbers to precise physical dimensions and weights, covering a broad spectrum of professional hoisting needs.
Engineered for Maximum Load Distribution & Heavy-Duty Lifting
The Ramshorn Hook (also known as a Double Hook) is a specialized lifting component designed for large-capacity cranes requiring symmetrical load distribution. Engineered according to EN 13001-3-5 Annex B (formerly DIN 15402), this design utilizes dual hook horns to provide a balanced anchor point, reducing wear on rigging and enhancing stability for critical heavy-lift operations.
Maximum Safety & Compliance
- Standard-Certified Design: Fully compliant with EN 13001-3-5 Annex B specifications for high-capacity crane components.
- Safety Rated Capacities: Lifting capacities are determined according to cranegroup 1Bm as specified in DIN 15400.
- Minimum Ultimate Strength: Rated at 4 X WLL to ensure structural integrity under extreme industrial loads.
- Proven Durability: Forged to resist fatigue and optimized for high-performance rigging in demanding construction and industrial environments.
Industrial Flexibility
- Broad Capacity Spectrum: Available in V-Class, T-class, and P-class ratings with standard lifting capacities up to 1375 UStons.
- Extensive Sizing Options: Standard range covers Hook No. 1.6 through Hook No. 250 to suit varied block and crane configurations.
- Optimized Bending Radius: Features precision-engineered throat openings (a1, a2) and bending radii designed for maximum wire rope and sling longevity.
- Custom Engineering: While standard models are provided, custom versions can be developed for specialized project requirements.
