Ramshorn Hook Form B

This specialized datasheet details the “Form B” variant of the Ramshorn Hook, adhering to EN 13001-3-5 Annex B. It highlights specific engineering features such as specialized bending radii and provides lifting capacity data for hook numbers 8 through 250. The document is an essential resource for engineering teams requiring high-capacity, dual-load-path hooks for complex rigging environments.

Engineered for Precision & Heavy-Duty Load Balance

The Ramshorn Hook Form B is a high-capacity lifting component designed for symmetrical load distribution in critical crane operations. Manufactured according to EN 13001-3-5 Annex B, this dual-horn design provides superior structural stability and controlled load management for complex rigging environments.

Maximum Safety & Compliance
  • Standard-Certified Design: Fully compliant with EN 13001-3-5 Annex B (previously DIN 15402) for heavy-duty crane applications.
  • Safety Rated Capacities: Lifting capacity is rigorously determined according to cranegroup 1Bm as specified in DIN 15400.
  • Minimum Ultimate Strength: Engineered with a minimum ultimate strength rated at 4 x WLL to ensure maximum reliability under extreme tension.
  • Optimized Bending Radius: Features precision-engineered throat geometry to enhance the longevity of wire rope and slings.
Industrial Flexibility
  • Extensive Lifting Range: Available in V-Class, T-class, and P-class ratings with standard lifting capacities up to 1375 UStons.
  • Versatile Sizing: Offered in standard sizes ranging from Hook No. 8 to Hook No. 250 to accommodate varied industrial requirements.
  • Forged Precision: Designed with a robust shank diameter (ød1) and throat opening (a1) for secure integration with heavy-lift blocks.
  • Custom Engineering: While standard models are provided, custom versions are available upon request to meet specialized project specifications.
