When determining crane capacity, not only the maximum load weight but also dynamic loads, lifting speed, duty class, usage frequency, and safety factors must be considered. Additionally, the load’s center of gravity, lifting height, and environmental conditions (outdoor use, wind, temperature, etc.) play a critical role in capacity calculations. Selecting the correct capacity directly impacts both operational safety and the long-term durability of the equipment.
Since lifting and handling equipment involves high-risk operations, compliance with international standards (CE, FEM, DIN, ISO, etc.) is of great importance. Certified systems undergo load testing, static and dynamic analyses, material quality inspections, and traceable manufacturing processes. This enhances workplace safety, ensures legal compliance, and helps prevent potential accidents.
Under-hook lifting devices provide safe lifting when the load’s center of gravity is unbalanced, when transporting long or wide materials, or when lifting from multiple points is required. They are commonly used for handling sheet metal, pipes, containers, or specialized machinery.
