Advantages of Ladle Hooks

  • Instead of using rivets as is currently done, body-bound, high-strength shoulder bolts are used. According to AISE Technical Report No. 7, the quantity of bolts satisfies the same specifications as rivets.
  • The following is a comparison between the strength and substance of bolts and rivets: Bolts: AISI 1045, Yield: 54,000 psi minimum, Ultimate: 86,000 psi minimum. Rivets: ASTM A31, Grade A, Yield: 23,000 psi minimum, Ultimate: 45,000 psi minimum.
  • Laminated plates are pulled together more tightly by torqued high-strength bolts than by the currently used rivet installation method.
  • Body-bound bolts prevent plates from moving. In contrast, the nominal diameter of the rivet is 1/16" larger in diameter than the holes for rivets.
  • By putting in larger body bound bolts that are sized for each individual application, it is possible to reuse previously riveted ladle hook plates.
  • Bolted ladle hooks are more simpler to disassemble and then repair than riveted hooks, which lowers the overall cost.

The estimated service life of bolted ladle hooks is 4 to 5 times longer than that of riveted hooks, according to current experience.

Main components of ladle hook

Ladle Hooks,Ladle Beams & Ladle hook bucket

The laminated ladle hook
Laminated hook The laminated ladle hook is riveted through several steel plates. The laminated ladle crane hook provides high safety because even if one of the individual plates has flaws, the entire hook can still function without being damaged. Laminated crane hooks are commonly used on large lifting capacity cranes, such as steel ladle cranes, due to their high safety and large dead weight. Laminated ladle hooks are classified into single laminated hooks and double laminated hooks.
Ladle hook beam
Ladle hook beam
To safely handle and transport molten metal, ladle beams with ladle hooks or J hooks are most commonly used. They can also be used to handle and transport material rolls like paper rolls. Ladle hooks and ladle beams are extremely strong and are built to withstand the harsh and extreme environments in which they are found. Ladle hooks come in a variety of sizes and capacities, ranging from 1 to 80 tons.
 overhead Ladle hook bucket
The overhead Ladle hook bucket is made from durable materials and has great temperature and corrosion resistance properties.The working conditions: Working temperatures: -10 - 60 ℃。 Working class A6 -A8. Power Source: 3Ph, 380 V 50 Hz or under customer requirement. And also, it can be equipped with a large variety of optional features to help satisfy any lifting or rigging application.
