TEC Container Ramshorn Hook (BA-186) is engineered to provide dependable performance in demanding cargo-handling operations. Its distinctive dual-hook configuration, inspired by the curved shape of a ram’s horns, enables secure lifting while improving overall handling efficiency in busy industrial environments.
Key Features
Double-Hook Configuration
The BA-186 incorporates a twin-hook design that provides a stable lifting point for slings, chains, and ropes. This configuration improves load control and significantly reduces the risk of slippage during lifting operations.
High-Strength Construction
Manufactured from alloy steel with a strength class of V, the hook offers exceptional durability and reliability. Its robust construction ensures consistent performance even in the toughest operating conditions.
DIN-Certified Design
The hook complies with DIN 15402, a standard issued by the German Institute for Standardisation (DIN – Deutsches Institut für Normung). This certification confirms that the product meets internationally recognised safety and quality requirements.
Corrosion Protection
A specialised protective coating helps guard the hook against corrosion and environmental wear. This makes it particularly suitable for maritime environments such as container terminals, as well as other heavy-duty industrial applications.
High Lifting Capacity
With a Working Load Limit (WLL) of 70 tonnes, the BA-186 is capable of handling a wide range of cargo—from delicate equipment to extremely heavy loads.
Applications
The Ramshorn Hook is used in a variety of heavy-lifting scenarios. Typical applications include handling:
- Wind turbine components
- Steel pipes and long structural materials
- Industrial crates and containers
- Large equipment and machinery
Loads are typically lifted using chains, slings, or wire ropes attached to the dual hooks. When transporting long cargo such as pipelines, operations may involve two reach stackers operating simultaneously to maintain stability and balance.
360-Degree Swivel Capability
A key feature of the BA-186 is its integrated swivel mechanism, which allows the hook to rotate a full 360 degrees.
This functionality makes it easier to position large or awkward loads precisely during lifting. By enabling the cargo to rotate freely, operators can often avoid repositioning the reach stacker itself—saving time and improving overall operational efficiency.
Secure Mounting and Safety Features
The Ramshorn Hook connects to the reach stacker using two heavy-duty hoisting bolts, providing a rigid and reliable attachment point.
For additional safety, the design incorporates built-in locking mechanisms that prevent accidental load release during lifting operations.
Model Availability
More than twenty variations of the Ramshorn Hook have been produced to ensure compatibility with different reach stacker models and lifting requirements.
Why Choose a Double Hook?
You might be wondering why a dual-hook design is used instead of a traditional single hook. The double-hook configuration offers several advantages in certain lifting situations, particularly when improved stability or load distribution is required.
