The LUDWIG HOOK not only shines when working at height. Working in civil engineering also harbors dangers, especially if the subsoil is unstable. Releasing the sewer elements from a safe distance saves having to climb down into the pit. This saves time and promotes safety.

Packages of aluminum profiles are placed on trucks with a telescopic handler. The packages are tied so that they do not slip during the lifting process. After setting down, the Ludwig Hooks are opened by remote control, releasing the load. When the crane arm is lifted, the lifting strap unthreads so that both lifting strap […]
Our customer Vinci Energies uses our LUDWIG HOOK XL (5.3t payload) to place utility poles at the roadside. Usually, a lifting platform has to be provided to release the load after the lifting process. Thanks to the use of our LUDWIG HOOK, the load can be unhooked at the push of a button.
The company de Meeuw is a Dutch manufacturer of flexible construction elements in container design. Before the use of Ludwig Hooks, an employee had to climb onto the container roof to loosen the chains during every loading operation. This time-consuming and dangerous activity is eliminated by using 4 Ludwig Hooks.
Our customer Vinci Construction places reinforcing steel mesh on the embankment of the Garonne in Toulouse. For this operation, 2 LUDWIG HOOKS with 2T payload each are used. They can be released from a safe distance – one at a time or both at the same time. Note the slope of the dike! It becomes […]
In 2019, a huge avalanche of debris covered the only road leading from Andorra to Spain. Fortunately, no one was injured.
