1. Product Overview

The evo2 and evo2L are automatic lifting hooks designed for lifting and transporting loads. The main difference between both models is the length of the hook, with the evo2L offering extended reach for applications requiring greater clearance.

All evo series hooks feature a safety factor of 4:1. The Working Load Limit (WLL) is indicated on the CE stamp affixed to each individual hook.

2. Technical Specifications

Note on Maximum Releasable Weight: For higher values, contact the sales department.

Note on Service Life: Service life is reduced to 20,000 cycles for units equipped with custom links or load cells. Accessories such as master links and shackles must be replaced every 20,000 cycles or as recommended by their manufacturer.

4.Radio Specifications

FCC Compliance: This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter, except in accordance with FCC multi-transmitter product procedures.

5. Battery System

Battery Model: EVO2-1700

Battery Specifications:

Battery Charge Indicator:

The battery features a 14-segment eInk display on the front that shows the charge level:

• Completely black display: Battery fully charged
• Completely white display: Battery discharged

The display requires no power to maintain the visible reading, allowing battery status checks even when disconnected from the charger or not installed on the hook.

Compatible Battery Charger:

6. Remote Control Compatibility

The evo2 and evo2L can be paired with allr remote control options:

7. Operating Limits

Temperature Range:

The hook is designed for normal atmospheric conditions within a temperature range of -20°C to 60°C (-4°F to 140°F). The hook must not be used outside these conditions.

Chemical Exposure:

The hook must not be exposed to acids, alkalines, or their vapours.

Operating Position:

The hook must be in a vertical position during operation.

8. Magnet Optional: choose between Void (no magnet), Magnet, or Sensor Magnet (allows autoclose function) 

The evo2 and evo2L feature a powerful integrated magnet that attracts, centers, and orients the sling, masterlink, or rigging gear. 

WARNING – Strong Magnetic Field: People wearing a pacemaker must never approach the hook, as the magnetic field may interfere with the device's operation and pose serious health risks. The magnet is strong enough to transport relatively heavy metallic elements unintentionally. Do not approach with metal items. Magnetic cards, credit cards, hard disks, and other sensitive devices may be damaged or disrupted if brought too close.

9. Critical Warnings for Lifting:

• Do NOT place or lift the load on the tip of the hook
• Do NOT lift the load until the hook is completely closed
• Only lift the load when it is correctly settled on the base of the hook

10. Safety Features

Fail-Safe Design: The hook is geometrically designed to prevent opening when a load is suspended. The motor torque is not powerful enough to open the hook when the suspended weight exceeds the maximum releasable weight.

Clutch Protection: A slip clutch protects the motor from overload by slipping when the force required exceeds a safe threshold.

Lock Pin Mechanism: Prevents involuntary opening or closing of the hook.

11. Warranty

Warranty is not valid in the following cases:

• Overload
• Wrong or careless use
• Damage from not following procedures and measures
• Damage from hoisting material other than indicated on the hook or in the user manual
• Adapting or modifying the hook
• The injudicious use of the evo automatic lifting hook, and not succeeding all indications which are stated in the user manual. 
• Maintenance inspections not carried out by authorized Elebia Technical Service

The manufacturer is not responsible for incidental damage, or damage due to wrong use of the lifting tools as well as from violation of this manual. 

12. Inspection and Maintenance

Inspection Intervals by Service Level:

Pre-Shift and Every Lift Inspection Items:

• CE plate with WLL is not missing
• No signs of deformation or cracks on any structural part
• Complete hook range of motion
• If equipped with LED bumper: LEDs show blue (closed), green (open), red (transition)
• Hook can align with the load
• Latch retracts as the hook opens

Periodic Inspection Checklist Items:

• Legible CE plate (WLL, serial number, safety factor)
• LEDs fully operational (if bumper with LEDs installed)
• Complete hook range of motion
• Proper safety latch movement (not applicable if rigid latch installed)
• Stretched, bent, twisted, distorted, elongated, cracked or broken load-bearing components
• Excessive wear (more than 5%)
• Cracks, nicks or gouges
• Excessive pitting or corrosion
• Heat damage
• Evidence of welding or modification
• Total cycles below service life

Periodic inspections must be performed by a qualified person designated by Elebia. Records are required. Any unauthorized modifications shall be a condition requiring removal from service.

13. End of Life

The device must be removed from service once the service life is reached. Using an evo device beyond its designated service life can lead to serious safety risks, including potential failure during use, breakage, and safety hazards for personnel and equipment.

Maximum Service Life:

• evo2: 100,000 cycles
• evo2L: 100,000 cycles

Service life is reduced to 20.000 cycles for units with custom links or load cells. Accessories like master links, and shackles must be replaced every 20.000 cycles or as recommended by its manufacturer. 

14. Regulatory Compliance

The evo2 and evo2L comply with the following standards and directives:

• EN 10204 3.1
• UNE-EN 1050
• UNE-EN 1677-1:2001+A1:2009
