Gigasense (PIAB) IS Series Automatic Lifting Hook

Gigasense (PIAB) IS Series Automatic Lifting Hook

Lifting operations with mobile cranes and industrial hoists can safely be managed by the operator alone. 

  • This concept saves time and increases safety.
  • The operator can remain at the controls during lifting and release operation.
  • The Gigasense (PIAB) IS Automatic Lifting Hook consists of hook, housing and link.
  • Forged hook, housing and link are of high-grade alloy steel.
  • Unloaded, the spring loaded hook is pulled up against the housing in an open, ready-to-load position where it can easily be hooked onto a lifting eye or other attached hardware.
  • Since the hook is completely mechanical it is suitable for use in liquid or water.
  • The IS Hook is tested and approved by the Swedish Institute for Materials Testing.
  • The IS Hook is available in 6 sizes from 1.6 to 21.6 tonnes. It is easy to operate, has rugged design and a high reliability.

NOTE: SLINGS ARE NOT RECOMMENDED FOR USE WITH AUTO-LIFTING HOOK.

Operation Overview

  1. When the PIAB IS Hook is engaged, the load tension closes the hook opening, and the safety latch is automatically locked.
  2. The hook remains safety locked even if it is unloaded. It is therefore possible to safely set down the load and make sling adjustments.
  3. To release the safety lock after completed lifting operation, the hook is lowered until the upper link has tilted approximately 60° in relation to the housing.
  4. When the lock is released, the hook swings up into an open starting position.
  5. The load is released, and the hook is ready for a new lifting operation.
