Gangtong Zheli manufactures roof hooks that meet international safety standards with these material specifications:

Material Tensile Strength Corrosion Resistance Weight Capacity Best For
Carbon Steel 500 MPa Moderate (with coating) 150kg General roofing
Stainless Steel 304 600 MPa Excellent 200kg Coastal areas
Aluminum Alloy 300 MPa Good 100kg Light-duty work
Galvanized Steel 450 MPa High 180kg All-weather use

Key Product Features:

  • Hot-dip galvanized finish (80μm minimum)

  • Reinforced weld points (2.5mm bead thickness)

  • Ergonomic curved design (30°-45° angles)

  • Safety locking mechanism

2. Manufacturing Process for Roof Hooks

Step-by-Step Production

  1. Material Cutting

    • Laser precision cutting (±0.5mm tolerance)

    • Deburring all edges (R0.3 radius)

  2. Bending and Forming

    • Hydraulic press bending (150-ton capacity)

    • 3-stage angle formation (30°/45°/60° options)

  3. Welding and Assembly

    • MIG welding (CO₂ shielded)

    • Stress-relief heat treatment

  4. Surface Treatment

    • 7-stage galvanization process

    • Optional powder coating (50μm thickness)

Quality Control Measures

  • 100% magnetic particle inspection

  • Load testing to 2x rated capacity

  • Salt spray testing (1000+ hours)

  • Dimensional verification (±1mm tolerance)

3. Safety Standards and Load Ratings

International Compliance

✔ EN 131:2017 (Ladders)
✔ OSHA 1926.1053 (Fall Protection)
✔ ANSI A14.3 (Fixed Ladders)
✔ ISO 9001:2015 Certified

Load Capacity Guidelines

Hook Type Vertical Load Horizontal Load Safety Factor
GT-RH100 150kg 50kg 3:1
GT-RH200 200kg 75kg 4:1
GT-RH300 300kg 100kg 5:1

Critical Safety Features:

  • Non-slip rubber pads (70 Shore A hardness)

  • Automatic locking cam mechanism

  • Secondary safety catch

  • Visible load rating stamps

4. Industrial Applications and Installation

Common Usage Scenarios

Professional Installation Guide

  1. Surface Preparation

    • Clean roofing material surface

    • Mark anchor points (minimum 3 attachment points)

  2. Mounting Procedure

    • Use M10 or larger corrosion-resistant bolts

    • Apply thread locking compound

    • Torque to 45-50 Nm

  3. Load Testing

    • Apply 150% rated load for 5 minutes

    • Inspect for deformation or movement

    • Document test results
