Economical and Safe Lifting with Below the Hook and Custom Lifting Devices

Below the hook lifting devices are perhaps the most commonly used lifting equipment today. Also known as grabs, these devices are attached to the regular hook of the hoist or crane and serve their function without the need of any other connection to power or control. Over the years, improvements have been made to the design of below the hook lifting devicesand today, these can be classified into the following three categories based on their construction:

Curved or Straight Beam — Examples include C-hooks, overbalance hooks, lifting beams

Simple Link — Examples include tongs and lifting clamps

Complex Mechanical — Examples include grapples, buckets, and lifters

At JBS Cranes, we specialize in the supply and installation of all types of below the hook lifting devices. For customers who have specific needs and requirements, our experts can also provide custom-built solution. We take a look at your lifting application and the kind of material you want to handle and design a custom lifting device that truly serves your requirements.

We provide electrical controls for all types of equipment, including new or rebuilt AC, DC, VFD, and Flux vector controls. In addition to this, we also provide full automated control systems from cranes, hoists, and winches, making it easier for the operator to efficiently control the equipment and optimize turnover.

Why Choose Our Automated Control Systems?

The hoists and crane control systems designed by our engineers not only improve your workplace productivity, but also reduce material and equipment damage by making it possible for the equipment to operate in a more efficient, precise, and accurate manner.

By investing in an automated hoist system, you can bring the following advantages to your work environment:

Faster and more reliable operation of both manned and unmanned cranes
Faster operator response increases throughput
Operational diagnostics speeds up fault tracing
Smooth acceleration decreases torque peaks and adds to the life of the lifting equipment
More efficient automated hoist systems permit higher speeds, increasing productivity of the lifting operation
Improved connectivity facilitates exchange of data which in turn increases productivity
Reduced material and machinery damage costs

Improve Efficiency and Precision with Our Automated Control Systems

Whether you want us to upgrade the crane control system of your overhead crane or improve the ergonomics and load control of your lifting process with a fully automated hoist system, our engineers should be able to provide you with a well-rounded, high-performance solution that will meet your efficiency, safety, and reliability requirements.
