Crane Hook Size Chart: Dimensions, Load Ratings & Selection Guide

When you select a crane hook, you need to match the right size to your crane’s rated load, reeving system, and operating environment. This chart covers standard dimensions, load capacities, and selection criteria for forged single and double hooks. Featured Snippet: Quick Answer Standard crane hooks are sized by rated load capacity. Common sizes range from 0.5 t to 500 t. Key dimensions include throat opening (hook tip to shank), overall height, shank diameter, and weight. Single hooks (DIN 15401) are typical for loads under 80 t, while double hooks (DIN 15402) are used for heavier capacities. Always confirm dimensions with the manufacturer, as tolerances vary by standard and production […]

Crane Wheel Selection Guide: Load, Rail, Diameter and Duty Class

Featured Snippet: How Do You Select the Right Crane Wheel? To select the right crane wheel, first determine the maximum wheel load and crane duty class. Then match the wheel to the rail profile, diameter, tread width, flange dimensions, operating speed, and drive arrangement. Finally, check the material, heat treatment, wheel-to-rail contact, and mounting dimensions. The wheel should fit the complete crane system rather than only the rated lifting capacity. Introduction Choosing a crane wheel is not simply a matter of selecting the correct diameter. The wheel transfers the crane load to the rail. At the same time, it must withstand rolling contact, acceleration, braking, and repeated travel cycles. Therefore, […]
