V Hooks
V Hooks — commonly known as V shaped metal hooks or powder coating hooks — are essential components in industrial finishing processes. Designed to suspend parts during powder coating, painting or anodising, these hooks ensure full coverage and minimise contact points, leading to a uniform finish. Commonly utilised by professionals in automotive, manufacturing, and metal fabrication sectors, V Hooks are integral to achieving high-quality results.
Our Coating Hooks are available in a variety of wire diameters, ranging from 1.5mm to 10mm, and lengths up to 900mm. Manufactured from either copper-plated steel (for diameters up to 3mm) or mild steel (for diameters 4mm and above), they offer durability and resistance to high temperatures. The V-shaped design provides secure holding, reducing the risk of parts slipping during the coating process. For applications requiring different configurations, we also offer C Hooks and S Hooks, catering to various shapes and sizes of workpieces.
Please note that the load capacity of V Hooks varies depending on wire diameter length and material type. Thicker wire diameters and shorter hook lengths typically offer higher weight ratings while thinner or longer hooks are suited to lighter components. To help you select the correct hook for your application we have included the weight rating guide below which outlines recommended load limits for each size to ensure safe and reliable use during coating and finishing processes.
Key Features & Benefits:
- Consistent Positioning: The V-shaped design ensures parts are held in the same position every time, promoting uniform coating application
- High Load Capacity: Depending on the wire diameter, V Hooks can support heavy weights, making them suitable for heavy-duty applications.
- Durable Materials: Constructed from copper-plated or mild steel, these hooks withstand high temperatures and resist corrosion.
- Reusability: Designed for multiple uses, reducing the need for frequent replacements and offering cost savings.
- Versatility: Suitable for various finishing processes, including powder coating, painting and anodising.
Common Use Cases in the UK Market:
- Automotive Industry: Suspending alloy wheels and other components during powder coating for refurbishments.
- Manufacturing Sector: Hanging metal parts for painting or coating in production lines.
- Metal Fabrication: Supporting fabricated parts during finishing processes to ensure even coverage.
- Construction Equipment: Holding large metal structures or tools during protective coating applications.
- Custom Workshops: Ideal for bespoke projects requiring reliable and reusable hanging solutions.
