SSAB’s hook lift frame kit consists of precision laser-cut Strenx® 700MLH tubes and cold-formed, high-strength steel profiles made of Strenx 700MC D. The engineer-verified and field-tested design offers a stronger and lighter alternative to traditional hook lift frames, which typically use standard, hot-rolled mild steel sections.
You simply weld together the components of the SSAB assembly kit to build a complete hook lift frame. Even though the frame is up to 30% lighter than traditionally built frames, it still has maximum load capacity of 20.000 kg over a 6.0 m length.
The assembled frame can then be used as a base for building hook lift tippers, containers, and similar heavy-duty, material-handling equipment. SSAB Services can also supply other prefabricated parts for your hook lift container or tipper, including floor plates, top rails, sidewalls, and integrated top rails/sidewalls.
Weighing up to 30% less than conventional hook lift frames, your customers will save fuel while being able to carry more payload for higher revenues.
Our laser-cut components enable more precise fitment, for a faster, more efficient frame assembly. Weld beads are reduced by up to 70%, meaning less distortion and therefore less need for straightening after welding.
Welding, bending, and machining recommendations are found in SSAB’s handbooks at www.ssab.com or consult Tech Support, [email protected]. For the SSAB hook lift frame kits, be certain to follow all assembly instructions, in particular the pre-assembly and welding sequences.
Our hook lift frame kits are made from Strenx grades, which adds performance beyond ordinary structural steel. For example, with Strenx tube you immediately have perfect surface quality. Strenx steel makes your hook lift frames stronger, lighter, safer, more competitive, and more sustainable.
By combining SSAB premium products and our experience in engineering support and steel processing, you get a service that is hard to match. So ask us about cutting, bending, drilling and machining capabilities. Together we can determine where SSAB offers the best value-added, so you can focus less on issues like steel inventories and more on bringing products to market faster.
Prefabricated flat bars from SSAB Services are made from high-quality, high-strength Strenx® 700MC steel in sizes commonly used for beams (e.g., I-beams), flanges, webs, and many other demanding, load-bearing structures such as trailer chassis. Additional high-strength SSAB steel grades can also be specified as custom structural flat bars from our worldwide network of SSAB Steel Service Centers.
Top rails from SSAB Services are specifically engineered to speed the manufacturing of tipper bodies and containers. Our designs are engineer-verified and field-tested, providing you upgraded top rails for lighter, tougher, and more competitive end products. You can also specify custom top rails made from our Strenx® 700 MC, Hardox® wear plate, and other grades of SSAB high-strength steel.
