The bearings allow the Lifting Hook for Bell Furnaces to rotate freely. If required, the swivel can be set in a fixed position.

In regular lifting operations with bell furnaces, the operator has a limited line of sight and poor visibility as to the lifting hooks' position and engagement of the bell furnace. The High-Brightness LED status indicator is an additional safety measure which shows the lifting hook's status at all times with a bright 4 colour colour-code scheme visible from the operator's position. This feature is optional.

• Green: Lifting Hook is Open / Release Load
• Red: Intermediate: Do Not Lift!
• Blue: Lifting Hook is Closed / Lift & Manoeuvre Load
• White: Low Battery

With the high-capacity battery, a simple 3 hour charge allows for more than 3.000 cycles or over 250 hours in standby mode. The 14 segment E-ink charge status display and rechargeable Li-Ion technology guarantee an optimal autonomy and consumption of the battery.

The NEO20 is equipped with a load cell to weigh the load that is being lifted. This load cell is precise, reliable, rugged, compact and fully integrated into the lifting hook, representing no increase in weight or dimensions of the unit. The load cell in combination with the eMAX remote control transforms the NEO20 into a precise weighing scale with advanced features. This feature is optional.

A contact sensor detects when load is in position, and the NEO20 closes automatically. This feature is optional.

Impossible to release or drop the load while it is suspended on the lifting hook. Just like the evo range of automatic crane hooks and our automatic lifting clamps, the automatic lifting hook for bell furnaces is designed under a fail-safe principle that makes it impossible to drop a suspended load.

Open and close the lifting hook or receive real-time information of weight, battery level, and other values of the lifting and manoeuvering operation. The NEO20 bell furnaces lifting hook can be paired to any of the Elebia remote controls.

A metal tip can be inserted to facilitate the NEO20's positioning into a narrow space. Fabricated from high-strength steel, it is reinforced to protect the the hook against impacts. This feature is optional.

The ARC 50 by Codipro is a lifting point specially designed for handling heavy loads, and particularly suited for lifting moulds. It has been conceived to be used with the NEO20 lifting hook, although it can also be used in combination with other lifting hooks, shackles with a diameter of less than 100mm and also with the NEO50 lifting hook.

If there's ever the need to manually override NEO20's electronics, the process is very simple.

1. Insert a 6mm hex key into the slot/groove and push the key upwards.
2. Repeat these steps a couple of times until the LED status indicator is red.

The NEO20 is not only the perfect lifting solution for Bell Furnaces, it is also ideal for lifting and transferring oversized lifting points (up to 100mm Ø) such as rods between plates, holes on a plate, chain slings, lifting bails and other oversized lifting points.
