Key Features

High Strength and Durability

CREATOMAC INDUSTRIES’ eye hooks are crafted from premium-grade materials, usually high-carbon steel or alloy steel, known for their exceptional tensile strength. This enables the hooks to withstand significant loads without risk of failure, making them perfect for demanding industrial applications.

Corrosion Resistance

These eye hooks are often treated with galvanization or other anti-corrosion coatings, providing excellent resistance to rust and environmental wear. This feature ensures longevity and reliable performance even in harsh conditions such as marine or outdoor environments.

Precision Engineering

Each eye hook is meticulously engineered with precise dimensions to ensure exact fits and optimum performance. The manufacturing process involves rigorous testing and quality checks to meet stringent industry standards.

Safety Features

Safety is a critical consideration in the design of these eye hooks. They come with features like secure latch mechanisms to prevent accidental disengagement of the wire rope. Hooks are also designed to distribute the load evenly to prevent undue stress points that could lead to failure.

Material and Construction

The choice of material is crucial in the design and performance of eye hooks. Below is a detailed exploration of the materials used and the construction process:

High-Carbon Steel

• Composition: Made primarily of carbon steel, often with additives like manganese to enhance hardness and wear resistance.
• Properties: High tensile strength, excellent durability, and impressive resistance to impact and wear.

Alloy Steel

• Composition: Incorporates elements like chromium, nickel, and molybdenum to improve strength, toughness, and corrosion resistance.
• Properties: Superior strength at high temperatures, excellent fatigue resistance, and long-lasting durability.

Galvanized Coating

• Process: Eye hooks typically undergo a galvanization process where a protective zinc coating is applied.
• Benefits: The galvanization significantly enhances corrosion resistance and extends the life of the product, particularly in corrosive environments.

Manufacturing Process

• Forging: The hooks are often forged, a process that involves shaping the metal under high pressure, leading to a more robust and fatigue-resistant structure.
• Heat Treatment: This step enhances material properties such as tensile strength and durability.

Dimensions and Specifications

The eye hooks from CREATOMAC INDUSTRIES come in a variety of sizes and specifications to suit different wire rope diameters and load requirements. Here are some typical dimension parameters you might encounter:

Typical Dimensions

1. Eye Diameter: Varies from small (5mm) to large (30mm) to accommodate different wire rope sizes.
2. Hook Opening: Ranges from 10mm to 50mm, depending on the application requirements.
3. Overall Length: Typically ranges from 50mm to 200mm.

Load Capacity

• The load capacity of these eye hooks varies significantly based on their size and material. They can handle weights from a few hundred kilograms to several tons, making them suitable for various heavy-duty applications.

Weight

• Smaller hooks may weigh as little as 100 grams, whereas larger, more robust hooks can weigh several kilograms.

Application Uses

These eye hooks are suitable for a wide range of applications across different industries:

Lifting Operations

• Cranes: Used in conjunction with wire ropes in crane operations for secure lifting and lowering of heavy loads.
• Hoists: Essential components in hoisting systems, providing a reliable connection point for wire ropes or chains.

Towing and Rigging

• Transportation: In the transportation industry, they are used for towing vehicles or securing loads on trailers.
• Marine Operations: Suitable for ship docking, anchoring, and mooring systems due to their high strength and corrosion resistance.

Construction

• Scaffolding: Utilized to secure scaffolds and other temporary structures.
• Load Securing: Essential in ensuring that materials and equipment are reliably secured during transit or within construction sites.

Industrial and Commercial

• Factories: Used in assembly lines and other heavy machinery operations.
• Warehouses: Help in securing and maneuvering heavy inventory.

Safety Considerations

Safety is paramount in any application involving heavy loads and lifting operations. CREAT
