Lifting with less manual effort Safer handling. Greater efficiency. With conventional lifting methods, operators often need to enter the danger zone around or even on the load to attach and release the hook. Manual unhooking adds extra movement and handling steps, while working in close proximity to suspended loads can increase safety risks. During repetitive lifting operations, these manual steps have to be performed again and again. The pewag levo hook provides a smarter solution: the hook can be opened and closed remotely, reducing the need for manual intervention directly at the load. This helps make repetitive lifting processes more efficient while keeping operators further away from the immediate load area.
Safety Keep a safe distance from the hazard zone
Efficiency Fewer manual interventions
Control Remote opening and closing
Flexibility Suitable for a variety of lifting processes

Attach the load
Lift and transport
Safely set down the load
Open the hook remotely
The lifting equipment or load is securely positioned in the levo hook, and the hook is closed – manually or using the magnet.
The load is lifted and moved as usual using the crane.
The load is fully and safely placed at the designated position.
The levo hook is opened by remote control, allowing the lifting equipment to be released from a safe distance.

Magnet Unit
Usage Example
The integrated magnet supports the handling and positioning of ferromagnetic lifting points or equipment, enabling easier pickup and alignment while reducing the need for manual intervention in the immediate working area.
Light Module
Remote attachment and detachment when loading injection moulds into injection moulding machines, reducing the need for personnel to enter difficult-to-access machine areas.
Usage Example
The integrated LED illuminates the working area around the hook, improving visibility of the load and connection points in dark or difficult-to-access environments.
Connecting lifting gear to a load in dark storage racks or machine areas where attachment points are difficult to identify from the crane operator‘s position.
Heat Protection
Usage Example
Helps protect temperature-sensitive components of the hook, particularly the battery, from excessive heat buildup, enabling longer operating times in high-temperature environments.
Bumper
Placing a component into a furnace and releasing the lifting gear remotely, so personnel do not have to enter the hot zone.
Usage Example
A highly durable protective cover provides additional protection for the hook housing and internal components against impacts, wear, and accidental contact.
Heavy Duty Frontcover The reinforced 5 mm cover plate provides enhanced protection for the hook and its components, making it ideal for demanding applications with increased risk of impact.
Loading and unloading operations where occasional contact between the hook, the load, or surrounding structures is unavoidable.
Usage Example Handling large components where occasional contact between the hook and the load is unavoidable, providing increased protection against wear.
