Automatic Safety Hook
Elebia has made available two major enhancements to its automatic hook range, which keeps crane operators and those responsible for rigging at a safe distance when connecting loads to lifting equipment. The patented Elebia hook is equipped with a magnet that both attracts and positions slings and other rigging gear. Now, safety and productivity is further improved with optional additions – a new remote-control system called the eMax and a load cell. It represents the continued evolution of one of the most innovative products in the lifting industry. In 2007 Elebia was awarded a patent for the product, which was introduced to the market two years later as a failsafe, 5-tonne-capacity hook (the ‘e5’) that was able to remotely engage and release loads. In 2010, the ‘e10’ was launched before second-generation versions followed (the ‘evo5’ and ‘evo10’) two years later and an ‘evo20’ was later unveiled.
