How should the rotation of the crane hook be addressed?

Thread Content

What should we do if the crane hook rotates? If the steel cables become entangled with each other, never attempt to lift the load any further, as this could cause one of the cables to bear excessive stress and get damaged. We can use the following methods to resolve this issue: First, if the crane is capable of lifting the load at a low height above the ground, we can use the luffing mechanism; after lowering the load, we can then turn the hook back to its proper position. II. If the object on the crane is at a high height above the ground, it is necessary to find a way to get closer to nearby buildings, or use another crane to bring people over in order to adjust the hook. III. If the hook rotates, be sure to untie the kink in the steel wire rope. So, how exactly should it be done? First, place the hook on the ground, untie the fixed end of the steel wire rope, rotate the end of the rope in the opposite direction to the twist direction of the rope strands to release torque, and then reattach the fixed end. Finally, raise the crane’s boom to its maximum elevation angle, and then repeat the process of lifting and lowering the hook several times to check the performance. This step can be repeated as many times as necessary until the hook is stable.
