The Elebia automatic hook features a magnet on its lower section. The crane operator dips the hook down, slings cling to the bottom of the hook body and the motorised hook swings around underneath them, all without any manual handling. The system works with cable slings, chain slings, traditional elevation rings, textile slings and bigbags, Elebia said.
New-Tonne, whose services include the design, manufacture, installation and supply of all types of lifting equipment, will also be exhibiting fall protection equipment at LiftEx, on Stands 22, 28 and 32.
