How It Works?

The general outline on the efficiency of skyhook crane function equals the force capacity of four people at once, while these under the hook lifting devices only calls for a single operator for one hand load lifting operation. Here is a general outline of the parts and their functionality:

After attachment of the load safety to the skyhook hoist, the operator must ensure of the correct installation to avoid mid-operation incidents. In order to raise the load, the wheel must be rotated clockwise by an easy hand crank lift mechanism. In case of intentional and unintentional release of the wheel amid the load transport, the ergo lift systems are fused with a brake mechanism supporting the load stable in its place.

This industrial lifting equipment is created with clutch brakes with a safe mechanism known as Loadlock. Rubber casters are placed on each caster wheel for improved brake action in premium editions while economy versions benefit from friction mechanisms. This structure responds to the load which means by increasing the load’s weight, the clutch brake grasps tighter- hence more safety.

To maneuver this series of ergonomic lift assist devices, the operator can control the movements with the hand wheel rotation and no lever control is required for lowering of the suspended load. As mentioned previously, the operator only needs to let go of the wheel to set the load in the desired height, with no complicated practices involved.

Lastly, to set the load down, the hand wheel must be rotated in an anticlockwise direction. The sky hook lifting device is created for precise positioning of the load by providing a remarkable control over the maneuver. Every of these functions are mechanical and done without the use of electricity.

This gantry lift device offers several models available, designed to carry out a wide variety of load lifting tasks across a variety of industries.

Key Specifications of Skyhook

For enhanced overhead load lifting safety, we highly recommend you to integrate the skyhook system to your industrial lift, carry and transport operations in replacement of classical chain lift mechanism. With several models, there are generally three sub categories in their designs.

Economy: they come with a simple friction brake used as low-cost lift assistance.

Premium: the premium skyhooks are enriched with designs for the betterment of ergonomic aspects as an advanced industrial lift assist, 6” caster wheels for a safer mechanism and heavier load lifting

Customized: made for customer’s specific requirements of size and other integrations.

Moreover, the skyhook can be categorized between fixed and mobilized
