Bypass overhangs

Function & Capabilities
The C-Hook makes it possible to lift under horizontal obstacles (such as balconies or roof extensions) without the crane or lifting device touching the structure. A self-aligning top section ensures that the hook remains vertical in both loaded and unloaded states, allowing for precise and consistent positioning.

Suitable for:

• Lifting under overhangs, balconies, or roof edges
• Inserting façade elements with limited overhead space
• Controlled placement beneath existing structures
• Lifting without the need for taglines
• Under-roof hoisting in prefab or residential construction

The C-Hook allows sideways insertion beneath an overhang — something not possible with standard lifting gear — making it essential for lifting operations in complex architectural layouts or tight spaces.

Accessories & Custom Options
Accessories:

• Compatible suspension systems and swivel heads based on crane type
• Can be combined with various lifting frames and spreader beams

Custom options:

• Adaptation for specific crane hooks or project geometries
• Integration with modular lifting systems
• Adjustments for unique prefab dimensions or load types

Extra applications:

• Façade installation in built-up urban areas
• Hoisting through scaffold structures or tight façade gaps
• Complex geometry projects with limited access

Operation & Safety
The stable positioning of the C-Hook reduces the risk of swinging or rotation. Its smart geometry ensures predictable load behavior and safe control, even with asymmetrical elements. 

All products meet the latest safety standards and are regularly inspected by certified professionals in accordance with the AMTeK system, in collaboration with Aboma.

Variants
If the C-Hook cannot be used due to a complete lack of overhead space, consider using one of our counterbalance lifting beams or RC counterbalance lifting beams, which are specifically designed for extreme spatial constraints.
