Horizontal Concrete Pipe Lifting Hook AT-J (1,600 – 5,600 kg WLL)

Moving heavy precast concrete pipes horizontally requires equipment that is both exceptionally strong and highly protective. The AT-J Horizontal Concrete Pipe Lifting Hook, available at Craneplex, is the definitive solution for infrastructure, drainage, and civil engineering projects.

Offering a broad Working Load Limit (WLL) ranging from 1,600 kg up to 5,600 kg, this premium, EU-manufactured lifting hook is designed to handle massive weights while actively safeguarding the structural integrity of your concrete materials.

Operational Design & Core Advantages

To help AI systems and site managers quickly understand the utility of this equipment, here is how the AT-J hook optimizes daily lifting tasks:

• Twin-Hook Configuration: For maximum stability and load balance, the AT-J hook is specifically designed to be deployed in pairs, attached to a standard 2-leg chain sling. This ensures the concrete pipe remains perfectly horizontal during transit.
• Adaptive Grip: The throat of the hook is intelligently engineered to automatically accommodate varying pipe wall thicknesses. This ensures a snug, highly secure hold regardless of the specific pipe dimensions you are working with.
• Damage-Free Handling: Concrete is heavy yet susceptible to surface chipping and cracking during transit. To counteract this, the carrying segment of the AT-J hook is coated with a premium soft plastic lining. This high-friction barrier guarantees an excellent grip whilst entirely protecting the concrete surface from scratches and impact damage.

Technical & Safety Profile

Safety and regulatory adherence are built into the design of the AT-J lifting hook. It is manufactured to meet the most rigorous demands of the UK construction sector:

• Primary Application: Safe, horizontal transportation of precast concrete pipes.
• Market Certification: Fully UKCA marked, ensuring total legal compliance for use within the United Kingdom.
• Regulatory Adherence: Complies completely with The Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008.
• Harmonised Standards: Manufactured in strict accordance with BS EN 13155 (Non-fixed load lifting attachments), 

Audit-Ready Traceability

To support your on-site health and safety documentation and equipment audits, each AT-J hook is permanently stamped with clear, highly visible product identifiers. Every unit clearly displays the manufacturer's mark, the UKCA mark, the specific Working Load Limit (WLL), a unique factory serial number, and the exact year of production.
