Automatic hooks - Elebia's remote-release line is the main one Holloway Houston carries - open and close on command, by radio remote or a mechanical trigger, instead of a manual spring latch. That lets the operator release a load without climbing up to the hook, which is the main reason plants add them on repetitive lifts.
A motorized or spring-and-cam mechanism inside the hook releases the load on a remote signal or mechanical cue, rather than requiring someone to manually open a latch at height. The exact release method is model-specific - see the product listing.
Working load limit on the automatic hook depends on size, grade, and style, so it's stamped on the hook body and shown on the tag or certificate rather than as one figure for the whole category. Manufacturer documentation for most hook styles also notes that loading off the saddle, rather than centered in the bowl, can reduce rated capacity.
Inspection programs for automatic hooks typically look for throat spread versus the manufacturer's original dimension, bending, cracks, corrosion, and a latch that won't close. Most programs pair a quick check before each use with a periodic documented inspection, and any of those signs is normally treated as a discard signal. Because the release mechanism is mechanical/electronic rather than a simple spring latch, it's also functionally tested - confirming it opens and closes on command - alongside the visual body and throat check.
