A ramshorn hook is a heavy-duty, double-horned lifting hook commonly used in ports, shipyards and offshore environments to handle very high-capacity loads. Its distinctive twin-curved shape allows two independent lifting slings, chains or frames to be attached simultaneously, distributing the load evenly and enhancing stability. Ramshorn hooks are typically forged from high-strength steel and undergo rigorous testing, including non-destructive examinations and proof load testing, to ensure structural integrity. Their geometry reduces stress concentration and allows safer handling of bulky or asymmetrical loads. These hooks are integral to lifting frames, spreader beams and specialised attachments used for breakbulk and project cargo operations.
