C Hooks for Crane

If your factory handles light to medium lifting tasks (typically up to 1 ton to 32 tons), our C hooks for crane offer a cost-effective, simple, and reliable solution. They are ideal for lifting steel coils, aluminum coils, steel pipes, and paper rolls. Easy to operate and well-matched with most single-girder or double-girder overhead cranes, they help reduce handling time, protect material surfaces, and improve workshop efficiency at a reasonable cost.

  • Safe Working Load (SWL): 1 ton ~ 32 tons
  • Hook Opening (C-opening): 300 mm ~ 1200 mm

C hooks for crane are simple lifting mechanisms shaped like the letter “C”. They connect to your overhead crane or lifting beam and cradle the load from below.
Unlike ordinary hooks that need slings, C hooks provide stable support for round or flat items. Most are made from high-strength alloy steel for daily heavy use. This design lets operators load and unload materials faster while keeping loads balanced and safe.

Types of C Hooks for Crane

C hooks for crane come in several practical types to match different coil sizes, weights, workshop space, and daily lifting tasks. Choosing the right type helps improve efficiency, protect materials, and keep operations safe. Below is a clear, expanded overview based on common industrial designs.

Small C Hook

Small C Hook

This is the basic and most widely used model. It consists of a lifting body and a counterweight iron. The lifting body is made from steel plates and steel pipes welded into a box-type cross-section structure. This gives excellent resistance to bending and torsion while keeping the hook lightweight and strong.
It works very well for standard steel coil handling, warehouse stacking, storage, and quick loading/unloading tasks in steel plants. Many procurement teams like it because it is simple, durable, and has a long service life. Custom designs are available to fit your exact operations.

Double C Hook

Designed for handling horizontal steel coils of varying widths. It includes a lifting body (same box-type structure from steel plates and pipes) plus connecting rigging with adjustable double hooks mounted on a grooved steel beam.
The adjustable feature lets you easily change the distance between hooks to suit different coil widths. This makes it flexible for varied production lines and helps reduce setup time. The hook remains lightweight yet sturdy, offering good durability for repeated use.

Double C Hook

Rotary C Hook

Rotating C Hooks

This type adds convenience with an electric drive system for safe rotation. The C hooks can turn the load at any angle during lifting, which makes loading, unloading, and repositioning steel coils much easier and faster.
It is especially useful in workshops where coils need frequent turning or precise placement, such as during tempering, stacking, or transport. The rotation feature improves safety and reduces manual effort while keeping the strong box-type structure and counterweight for balance.

Narrow Coil C Hook

Specially built for small-tonnage and short-size coils, typically in the 1-3 ton range (customizable). The main body uses the same steel plate and pipe box-type structure for good strength and anti-bending performance.
It is very light, flexible, and easy to install or remove. Some versions include a guide handle on the rear side to help control direction during movement. This type is ideal for lighter or narrower coils in smaller operations or tight spaces where a full-size hook would be too heavy or bulky.

Fork C Hook

Also called double coil or fork-style C hooks. It handles two steel coils or wire rods side by side in one lift. The design keeps the standard lifting body with box-type structure and counterweight iron to maintain excellent balance.

This version is widely used in hot rolling and cold rolling workshops, as well as material yards and docks. It increases productivity when moving multiple items and keeps the hook lightweight and long-lasting.

Crane C Hook for Wire Coil

Optimized for wire coils and steel coils. It follows the same reliable structure: lifting body in box-type section plus counterweight iron for perfect vertical balance.

The design ensures the center of gravity of the hook and load stays aligned, reducing swing. Custom options allow it to fit specific coil dimensions and lifting requirements. It is a practical choice for horizontal lifting of wire coils in various industrial settings.

These types cover most common needs in steel mills, warehouses, and processing plants. When selecting, consider your coil width, tonnage, how often you need to rotate loads, and available workshop space. This helps avoid mismatch and keeps your crane operations smooth and cost-effective.

Application Scenarios for C Hooks

C hooks for crane are used in many different factory environments for coil and material lifting.

Steel Coil Lifting

C hooks are commonly chosen for moving hot-rolled coils and cold-rolled coils in steel mills and coil processing centers. They allow quick transfer between production lines, storage areas, and transport vehicles. The C shape supports the coil from inside the eye to prevent slipping.

Non-Ferrous Metal Coil Handling

In aluminum and copper plants, C hooks lift aluminum coil and copper coil. The smooth contact surface helps protect soft materials from scratches or dents during handling.

Steel Pipes and Slabs Operations

C hooks simplify loading long steel pipes and flat steel slabs into containers or onto trucks. They are often used at warehouses and logistics yards for safe container loading and unloading.

Paper Rolls and Wire Reels

C hooks work well in the packaging industry. Fork-style and narrow coil versions are popular for handling multiple paper rolls or wire reels side by side, even in limited space.

General Metallurgical Industry Use

C hooks support transport, stacking, storage, and loading/unloading operations with overhead cranes and gantry systems across metallurgical plants.
