Introducing Elebia’s R1: the future of compact and efficient hook technology

The R1 auto-hook has been developed in response to a growing demand for smaller and lighter lifting solutions. While traditional pneumatic hooks have dominated the market, they often require complex systems, such as air pressure installations and regular maintenance. The R1 eliminates these constraints with a sleek, lightweight design—just 3 kg— while delivering impressive lifting power, capable of handling loads up to 1.5 tons.

This strength is made possible through an innovative internal piston and spring mechanism, which replaces the need for bulky motors. The result is a more energyefficient hook that extends battery life, reduces maintenance requirements, and offers unparalleled ease of use.

This focus on compactness and efficiency makes the R1 a game-changer, especially in industries where space and safety are key concerns.

One of the most striking features of the R1 auto-hook is its semi-automatic release function, which allows operators to release loads remotely. This capability not only increases the speed of operations but also improves worker safety by minimizing manual load handling. This is particularly valuable in industries such as construction, stevedoring, and warehousing, where handling large volumes or fragile materials is common.

The ability to remotely release loads reduces the time workers spend in potentially hazardous situations, offering a significant improvement in workplace safety. As companies look for ways to streamline operations and enhance worker protection, the R1’s remote release feature sets a new benchmark in lifting technology.

Elebia designed the R1 auto-hook to withstand the rigors of heavy industrial use. Whether facing extreme weather conditions or the wear and tear of daily operations, the R1’s robust construction ensures it remains reliable in even the most demanding environments. Additionally, Elebia’s signature safety latch provides extra security during transport, keeping loads firmly in place.

This focus on durability extends the R1’s lifespan, offering a cost-effective solution for businesses that require long-lasting equipment capable of withstanding harsh operational conditions.

The R1 auto-hook is equipped with Elebia’s intelligent auto-close system, which automatically secures the hook as soon as it detects the crane’s lifting motion. This automation guarantees that the hook is always in the correct position for the next load, reducing the need for manual adjustments and increasing operational efficiency.

Furthermore, the R1 features an LED status indicator, which provides realtime feedback on the hook’s status—whether it’s open, closed, or in transition. This visual confirmation enhances safety and reduces the risk of operational errors by giving operators immediate insight into the hook’s current state.

With up to 14 hours of battery life on a single charge, the R1 is ideal for industries that require extended operation times, such as ports, manufacturing plants, and logistics hubs.

The long-lasting battery reduces downtime caused by frequent recharging and ensures that operations can continue uninterrupted for longer periods.

For industries that operate on tight schedules and cannot afford delays, the R1’s extended battery life offers a significant advantage, increasing productivity and minimizing operational disruptions.

By addressing the limitations of traditional pneumatic systems, the R1 auto-hook emerges as a more compact, efficient, and intelligent solution for modern lifting needs. Its semi-automatic release feature, coupled with smart systems like auto-close and real-time LED indicators, offers a revolutionary approach to lifting operations. Moreover, its durable design ensures longevity even in the most challenging environments, making the R1 suitable for a wide range of industries, from construction to stevedoring.

Elebia’s participation in BreakBulk Houston 2024 is yet another demonstration of the company’s dedication to innovation and customer satisfaction.

The R1 auto-hook not only enhances safety and efficiency but also represents a step forward in lifting technology.

As Elebia continues to lead the way in providing industry-tailored solutions, the R1 will undoubtedly make a significant impact on how industries approach loadhandling operations.

At BreakBulk Houston, Elebia will showcase how the R1 auto-hook is set to revolutionize lifting technology, further cementing its reputation as a leader in the field.
