Overview

Forged crane hooks (usually single or double hooks) are key crane components manufactured by plastically forming high-grade alloy steel using large forging equipment, followed by a series of heat treatments and machining processes. Forged crane hooks have a wide range of applications, such as forged bridge crane hooks, forged gantry crane hooks, and forged mobile crane hooks. Their core advantages lie in their continuous metal flow lines, dense structure, and comprehensive mechanical properties (strength and toughness) far superior to cast or cut steel plate hooks.

As a leading enterprise in the crane industry, Weihua Group possesses the most comprehensive quality management system certifications (such as ISO 9001) and special equipment production licenses. Furthermore, its products strictly adhere to and exceed national standards (GB/T 10051) and international standards (such as FEM and DIN). Choosing Weihua crane hooks means choosing compliance and reliability.

Forged crane hooks are widely used in ports, nuclear power, aerospace, steel, shipbuilding and other fields with extremely stringent safety requirements.

Features

Compared to crane hooks manufactured using methods such as casting, steel plate cutting/welding, etc., forged crane hooks have overwhelming advantages in safety, reliability, and service life. These advantages stem from the fundamental improvements to the internal structure of the metal achieved through the forging process itself.

Superior Comprehensive Mechanical Properties

Forged crane hooks possess a dense, uniform, fine-grained microstructure. This results in better isotropy of the crane hook's mechanical properties (strength, plasticity, toughness), enabling it to simultaneously possess "high strength" to withstand heavy loads and "high toughness" to prevent brittle fracture under low temperatures or impacts.

Higher Safety Factor and Load Capacity

Due to its dense microstructure and absence of internal defects, forged crane hooks can more consistently achieve the material's design strength. For the same weight and size, the actual load capacity and safety margin of forged hooks are typically higher than those of cast hooks.

Excellent Fatigue Resistance

Forged crane hooks have a significantly extended service life and higher reliability in long-term repeated use, making them particularly suitable for high-level (e.g., A6, A7) and frequently used applications.

Excellent impact and overload resistance

Under sudden impact loads or accidental (non-malicious) short-term overloads, forged crane hooks, due to their excellent plastic deformation capacity, can absorb more energy and are more likely to undergo observable deformation (such as increased opening) rather than sudden fracture, providing valuable time for safety warnings.

Price of Forged Crane Hooks from Weihua Manufacturer

The price of crane hooks is not fixed like that of ordinary commodities. It is a highly customized industrial component, and the price varies due to numerous variables.

I. Crane Hook Specifications and Technical Parameters (Most Crucial):

Rated Lifting Capacity of the Crane Hook: 5 tons, 50 tons, 500 tons? Tonnage is the decisive factor in price.

Crane Hook Type: Single hook (S-hook) or double hook (C-hook)? What structure (e.g., European standard H-type, American standard C-type, etc.)?

Hook Number: There are industry standard numbers, such as M1, M5, S-100T, etc., corresponding to specific dimensions and capacities.

Material Grade: DG20, DG34CrMo, DG34Cr2Ni2Mo? The higher the material grade (better strength and toughness), the more expensive it is.

Manufacturing Standard:Complies with GB (Chinese National Standard), FEM (European Standard), DIN (German Standard), or other standards? Different standards have different safety factors and inspection requirements.

II. Order Quantity

Purchase Quantity: The price difference between single-item purchases and bulk purchases (such as purchases for an entire fleet or project) is significant.

Application

Forged crane hooks, with their superior strength, toughness, and fatigue resistance, are the preferred safety component for high-end and demanding working conditions. They are widely used in industries such as port terminals (loading and unloading giant containers and bulk cargo), heavy manufacturing (steel metallurgy, shipbuilding section assembly), energy construction (wind power installation, nuclear power equipment installation, hydropower large-scale lifting), as well as aerospace engineering and railway bridge construction.
