Lifting accessories

Lifting accessories for customer needs
Below-the-hook lifting devices are designed according to the part, the load and the application. The range includes, for example, lifting beams, lifting forks, grabs and turning devices for customer-specific needs. See also lifting forks, mechanical grabs and turning devices.

We manufacture CE-marked lifting accessories, such as lifting beams, lifting forks and grabs, to suit the customer’s individual lifting needs, the characteristics of the part and the requirements of the operating environment. Every solution is designed to meet the health and safety requirements of the Machinery Directive.

All our lifting devices are tailored to the customer’s individual needs. Whether it is palletised goods, pipes, reels or an irregularly shaped part, we design a solution that ensures safe and efficient lifting and moving. We also offer special solutions, such as self-balancing mechanisms and dimensionally adjustable structures.

All lifting devices we manufacture are carefully documented, and when needed we provide instruction in their safe use.
Designed together with the customer
Careful dimensioning and the design of a working solution require mapping out certain key details. We go through these with you as part of the quotation and design process.

In the design we take into account:

The dimensions and weight of the part to be lifted
The lifting method and any special requirements of the operating environment
The required overall length and maximum effective length
The structural height and any adjustment range
The number of lifting points
The method of suspension from the crane

With this information we can make sure you get a safe and efficient lifting solution that suits your application.
Frequently asked questions about lifting accessories
What is a below-the-hook lifting device?
A below-the-hook lifting device is an accessory used with a crane or hoist, such as a lifting beam, grab, lifting fork or lifting hook. Its job is to make lifting the part safe, controlled and suited to the application.
When is a customised lifting device needed?
A customised lifting device makes sense when the part to be lifted is long, heavy or irregularly shaped, or when the lifting points and centre of gravity require their own design.
What information is needed to dimension a lifting device?
Dimensioning usually requires the weight and dimensions of the part, the centre of gravity, the lifting points, the lifting method, the operating environment and information on the crane or hoist the device will be attached to.
Can Tuotetekno design a special grab or other special solution?
Yes. Tuotetekno designs and manufactures customer-specific lifting devices, such as grabs, lifting beams, lifting forks, clamshell grabs and other special solutions for industrial needs.
