CH-U C-Hook for Wire Coils with Manoeuvring Handle (1000 kg WLL)

Optimise your material handling operations with the highly durable CH-U C-Hook. Specifically engineered for the safe, efficient, and secure horizontal transport of wire coils, this essential piece of lifting gear is built to thrive in demanding industrial manufacturing and warehouse environments.

Offering a robust Working Load Limit (WLL) of 1000 kg (1 Tonne), the CH-U combines raw lifting strength with smart ergonomic features, ensuring your wire coils are transported securely and precisely every time.

Precision Control & Ergonomic Design

• Built-in Manoeuvring Handle: Designed with operator safety and operational efficiency in mind, the CH-U features an integrated rear handling grip. This allows ground personnel to safely guide, precisely position, and control the hook's orientation during the lifting process without placing their hands near the pinch points of the load.
• Streamlined Coil Handling: The classic C-hook profile allows for rapid insertion into the inner diameter of wire coils, significantly accelerating cycle times compared to complex slinging methods.
• Lightweight Efficiency: Despite its 1-tonne lifting capacity, the hook has an exceptionally low tare weight of just 16 kg, reducing unnecessary strain on your hoisting equipment and making it easy for operators to handle manually.
• Premium European Manufacturing: Proudly Made in the EU, guaranteeing premium metallurgy, precise manufacturing quality, and long-lasting durability for your heavy-duty lifting requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What is the purpose of the built-in handle on the back of the C-hook?
A: The integrated handle is a critical ergonomic and safety feature. It allows the rigger or ground operator to safely steer, balance, and guide the C-hook into the wire coil without placing their hands on the main lifting body, keeping them clear of potential pinch points.

Q: What is the maximum weight this C-hook can lift?
A: The CH-U 1.0 model features a highly robust Working Load Limit (WLL) of 1000 kg (1 Tonne).

Q: Is the hook too heavy for one person to position?
A: Not at all. A major advantage of the CH-U design is its lightweight efficiency. It has a tare mass of just 16 kg, making it very easy for a single operator to manoeuvre and guide into the coil.

Q: What is the maximum width of the coil that can fit on the hook?
A: The resting arm of the hook (Dimension I) is designed to comfortably accommodate wire coils with a maximum width of up to 400 mm.

Q: Does this equipment comply with UK workplace safety regulations?
A: Absolutely. The CH-U C-Hook is fully UKCA marked and strictly adheres to the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008, alongside the harmonised BS EN 13155 standards.
