Core offering

Elebia Autohooks designs and manufactures patented automatic crane hooks and specialized lifting equipment that enable remote engagement and release of suspended loads without manual handling. The product portfolio spans the evo automatic crane hook range (2.5 to 25 ton capacity), the NEO lifting hook family (up to 100 tons for oversized lifting points), automatic lifting clamps (C5, C6, eTrack), and supporting accessories such as remote controls and batteries. The core differentiator is a geometrically fail-safe hook design that prevents dropped loads without reliance on sensors or electronics.

Product overview

Elebia Autohooks manufactures a comprehensive portfolio of smart lifting solutions centered around automatic crane hooks with patented fail-safe designs. The core offering consists of the evo automatic crane hook range (evo2 to evo25) providing remote load attach/release capabilities from 2.5 to 25 tons capacity, the NEO lifting hook family (NEO20S through NEO100) for oversized lifting points up to 100mm diameter and 100 tons capacity, and specialized lifting clamps (C5, C6, eTrack) for steel plates, beams, and rail sections. Supporting products include the D10 drop test hook, S40 automatic shackle, and advanced remote controls (eMAX, eMINI, Installable). The company also offers innovative solutions like the Hookbot for offshore platforms and Subsea Hook for underwater operations, all controlled via proprietary remote controls with fail-safe geometric design that prevents accidental load drops.
