Slaughterhouse Hooks, Gambrels & Carcass Hanging Equipment
Hooks, gambrels, and carcass hanging equipment are the foundation of hygienic carcass transport and presentation throughout the slaughterhouse processing line. Mezbaha Ekipmanları supplies a comprehensive range of stainless steel and food-grade hooks, spreader bars, and trolley systems for cattle, sheep, pigs, and poultry processing facilities.
Our stainless steel hooks are manufactured from AISI 304 and 316 grade steel, providing excellent corrosion resistance in the harsh chemical and moisture-heavy environments of abattoirs. Available in a wide range of sizes and load ratings, our hooks accommodate everything from small lamb carcasses to heavy mature cattle. All hooks undergo rigorous quality control and load testing before dispatch.
Gambrel systems (also known as spreader bars) are used to hold rear legs apart, facilitating efficient dressing operations and improving hygiene by preventing the carcass from rotating. Our gambrels are available in fixed and adjustable widths to suit different carcass sizes, and are compatible with standard overhead rail trolley systems.
Proper hook and gambrel design is also essential for HACCP compliance—stainless steel surfaces are easy to clean and disinfect between uses. We offer complete hook and trolley systems designed for continuous industrial throughput, with replacement parts and accessories readily available to minimize downtime.
Frequently Asked Questions
What materials are slaughterhouse hooks made from?
Slaughterhouse hooks are manufactured from stainless steel (AISI 304 or 316 grade) or food-grade carbon steel with an appropriate protective coating. Stainless steel is the preferred choice for contact surfaces due to its corrosion resistance, ease of cleaning, and compliance with food safety regulations.
What is the difference between a hook and a gambrel in a slaughterhouse?
A hook is a simple curved device used to suspend a carcass from the overhead rail by the Achilles tendon or other anchor point. A gambrel (spreader bar) is a rigid bar inserted between the rear legs to hold them apart during dressing, providing better access to the carcass and improving hygiene.
What load capacities are available for slaughterhouse hooks?
We supply hooks rated from 50 kg for poultry and small sheep up to 1,500 kg for heavy cattle. Load rating must exceed the maximum expected carcass weight with a safety factor of at least 4:1 as per EN 15011 lifting equipment standards.
How do I clean and sanitize slaughterhouse hooks?
Hooks should be cleaned after every production run using pressure washing followed by chemical disinfection with food-approved sanitizers. Stainless steel hooks can withstand hot water cleaning at 82°C (180°F). Hooks should be inspected for deformation or corrosion and replaced if damaged.
Can hooks and trolleys be customized for specific rail systems?
Yes. We manufacture hooks and trolleys to fit standard rail profiles (round, square, I-beam) in common metric and imperial sizes. Custom hook throat openings, neck lengths, and trolley wheel configurations are available for non-standard rail installations.
