When it comes to choosing the right hook for your lifting needs, understanding the differences between the Evo and Neo series is essential. Both series offer unique features tailored to specific applications, making them suitable for various lifting tasks.
Evo Series
The Evo series is primarily designed for chains and slings, featuring a traditional hook shape that ensures reliability during operations. One of the standout characteristics of the Evo hooks is their remote control functionality, which can be operated using either the eMINI or eMAX remote. This allows for convenient operation from a distance, enhancing safety and efficiency.
Autoclose Feature
The Evo series offers an optional autoclose feature, which can be customized based on your requirements. Customers can choose from three options: no magnet, with a magnet, or with both a magnet and a sensor. This flexibility allows users to select the best configuration for their specific lifting tasks.
Load Cell
The Evo hooks can also include a load cell, providing real-time weight measurements to ensure safe lifting practices.
Typical Applications
Evo hooks are ideal for loading and unloading goods at ports, particularly when used with spreaders. Their design allows for multiple hooks to grab or release loads automatically, streamlining operations.
Neo Series
The Neo series is divided into two groups: Neo20 and Neo20S/Neo50/Neo60/Neo100.
Group 1: Neo20
The Neo20 allows you to open and close the hook using the remote control. It features a locking system that blocks hook movement, ensuring safety during lifting. It also includes an autoclose feature, making it a reliable choice for basic autoclose needs.
Group 2: Neo20S / Neo50 / Neo60 / Neo100
These models offer a unique open/close mechanism that operates by applying pressure or pulling a trigger through the lifting point. Additionally, some models come equipped with Smart Nap mode, which helps save battery life during periods of inactivity.
Load Cell
The Neo series models can include a load cell.
