Load hook

A stacker with an attached load hook enables loads that are not suitable for pallets to be lifted safely. This combination makes it easy to move bulky goods - without additional lifting gear. The forklift truck is particularly useful in warehouses, workshops or on construction sites when a load hook is required.

When the forklift truck with load hook is needed

As soon as forks reach their limits, the forklift truck with load hook comes into play. Whether big bags, machine parts or pipes - anything that cannot be stacked can be transported reliably with a suitable hook. The load hook is fitted to the forklift in just a few steps and is immediately ready for the next lift.

It is an advantage if the forklift truck is equipped with a rotating load hook, as this allows the load to be rotated and aligned during the lifting process - a big plus point if components need to be placed or unloaded precisely. Especially when moving long or asymmetrical objects, a rotating load hook improves control and reduces the risk of damage.

Who uses the forklift with load hook

Many industries benefit from the forklift truck when a load hook is fitted:

• Logistics centers that work with a wide variety of goods on a daily basis,
• Production companies where workpieces are moved internally,
• Craft and construction companies that need to lift heavy loads flexibly.

The forklift truck helps to make work processes efficient and safe with a load hook - without the need for a crane or special equipment.

Variants when using load hooks on the forklift truck

Whether rotatable, rigid or with a safety lock - the forklift truck can be equipped with load hooks in a wide variety of designs. It is important that they are securely locked and have sufficient load capacity. Many models have an integrated safety catch that prevents the load from being unhooked accidentally. This means that the load hook on the forklift can be used reliably at all times.

Rotating load hooks in particular should have a stable, ball-bearing mounted rotation axis and be able to lock securely under load. It must also be ensured that the hook does not come loose or tilt unintentionally during rotary movements.
