Elebia crochet in action

What are automatic hooks?

Automatic hooks can  be operated remotely  without the need for physical contact. From a distance, one can open the hook, attach the load and close the hook again. Attaching the load is done in an ingenious way by a  magnet  in the hook housing that then exerts an attraction on e.g. a metal top ring or steel cable.

The radiographic  Elebia  hooks are equipped with a unique magnetic system that is provided with 32 permanent neodymium magnets. The positioning of e.g. the top ring is done completely  automatically  without having to change the direction of the hook. This basic component, which is present in all Elebia hooks, makes it possible to connect loads at a distance.

Ranging from the  Elebia Evo 2  to the  Evo 25,  loads from  2.5 tons to 25 tons can  be lifted respectively.

No more unsafe situations when attaching loads at height.

Protective cover

The optional protective cover or bumper for the automatic hooks is the perfect  shock absorber  that protects the safety hooks against shocks.

  • With safety in mind, the new evo2 Bumpers, which protect crane lifting hooks from impact, now also feature an  LED status indicator  that shows the status of the lifting hook at all times with a clear  4-colour code scheme  visible from the operator position.
  • Protects the hook and your load from scratches and  daily wear and tear .
  • Protects workers in the event of a collision.
  • Extends the  life  of the product.
  • Reduces maintenance costs.

Load cells (measuring cells)

The automatic hooks from Elebia can be equipped with a  built-in load cell . This load cell is accurate, reliable, compact and fully integrated in the safety hook. The load cell is recommended for preventing possible  overload  and as  a load measurement . Load cells can also be retrofitted to older models of Elebia hooks.

This intelligent addition is an essential safety device for crane operators as it helps prevent accidents and injuries. By ensuring the crane is operated within safe load limits, the risk of overload and tipping is reduced, helping to prevent accidents resulting in injury or death.

In addition, the load cell increases  productivity  by enabling operators to make faster and more accurate decisions during load handling. With real-time load measurement data, the operator can quickly adjust the crane’s position and load, reducing downtime and  increasing efficiency  .

Another advantage of the measuring cell is that it provides valuable data for crane maintenance and repair. The data collected by the measuring unit can be analyzed to identify trends and patterns in crane use, so that proactive maintenance and repairs can be performed, downtime can be reduced and safety can be increased.

In short, crane load measurement is a crucial safety tool for crane operators, whether mobile cranes or tower cranes. It helps prevent crane overload and tipping, reducing the risk of accidents and injuries.

The load cell in combination with the  eMAX radio remote control  turns the Elebia crane hooks into a precise scale with advanced functions. The eMAX remote control is a wireless remote control that provides the operator with  real-time information  about the status of the hook. This way, the operator knows exactly when the hook is in position, even when he does not have a direct view of the hook. Up to  20 hooks can  be controlled simultaneously with one remote control. In addition to all the necessary information about the hook in real time, the remote control can also  provide log reports  of every lifting order. These reports can provide insight into productivity, but also incidents or interruptions are registered.
