What if 16 lumber packs could be released simultaneously with the push of a button? 🤔
At Logistec's Baltimore terminal, a 16-hook wireless quick-release system supplied through Mazzella is helping streamline the unloading of lumber for binderholz.
As Johannes Waldhart, Port Captain for Binderholz, explains: "I just like the electric hooks because they're easy to use."
He also highlights the operational benefits: "You don't have to climb up on the cargo to unlock them. You just use the remote."
Compared to pneumatic alternatives, fewer components mean fewer potential points of failure, helping crews work more efficiently while keeping personnel safely away from suspended loads.

Save set up time (💲) and get back home safe 👉 Wireless Quick-Release LudwigHook
2Ton or 5Ton ASME & OSHA compliant - For steel & timber erectors, wood framing contractors and all construction, fabrication and lifting companies who need to save time and avoid hazardous situation.
SAVE 20 mins per joist setting! 🤯👇
Recently, our team had the opportunity to visit a leading global tech company’s data center project alongside the crew at JE Dunn. The sheer scale, coordination, and pace of this project are incredible to witness in person.
Brad explained how the wireless quick-release LudwigHooks have helped make joist setting both safer and faster on site. With each joist requiring two connection points, crews were previously spending significant time accessing elevated areas just to disconnect rigging. By using this remote release system, the team is now saving approximately 20 minutes per round trip on every piece being set.
More importantly, the hooks help eliminate the need for workers to climb up to disconnect rigging manually, reducing exposure to work-at-height hazards while keeping the installation process moving efficiently.
Seeing our equipment contribute to safer lifting operations and measurable time savings on a project of this magnitude is exactly why we do what we do.

NO RESTOCK. Only 100 left. 🚨
Joe Espinoza from JAC Metal Building Contractors shared it straight at MBCEA, 2-ton capacity Quick Release LudwigHooks are all they need for their steel columns. No need to go bigger. That's what most crews need for lifting steel.
The current 2-ton (4400lb) version of the remote-controlled LudwigHook is being upgraded to a 2.5-ton model, and it comes with a price increase.
Now is the best time to buy the original 2-ton model at current pricing while stock lasts!!

🚨 New Application Alert: Touring Tower Lifts with Quick-Release LudwigHooks
At a recent stadium production in Lubbock, Texas for George Strait’s tour, the team at G2 Structures used the 5-ton remote release LudwigHook during the build of massive 80 ft structural towers weighing about 8,700 lbs each.
The hooks helped crews quickly rig, lift, position, and remotely release the towers during a coordinated crane operation, making the process faster, safer, and more efficient in a high-pressure touring environment. Even first-time users found the system simple and easy to operate.
This application further demonstrates the versatility of the Quick-Release LudwigHook across a wide range of lifting environments and rigging setups. From steel to wood to transloading to entertainment structures, this remote release system continues to adapt to different applications where crews need efficient, controlled, and reliable releases at height!

Great few days in Colorado Springs at the Metal Building Contractors & Erectors Association Conference! With crisp mountain air and bright sunshine, Rose Baker from our team had a great time there connecting with so many industry leaders, telling them how their fellow metal builders are using our quick release LudwigHooks in this field.
In pre-engineered buildings, crews use them the most for roof purlins, often flying them in bundles to keep production moving. And on bar joists, where they help eliminate unnecessary travel to the center of the joist or repositioning from connection points. The result is faster handling, smoother installs, and less time spent on repetitive lifts.
It was also great meeting with so many of our existing customers at the conference, including Steve Merz from GBS Enterprises! 🙂 And a big congratulations to our LEGO Crane Raffle winners, Lacey Construction, Inc., 🏆 Blake and Brendan Lacey. Hope you're enjoying your build!
Appreciate everyone who stopped by and connected with us at MBCEA. See you all next year.
👉 A 75-working-day job was completed in just 20 days using these quick release LudwigHooks! ⚡
Our customer Wayne Garner, Owner at Iron Gold Welding, is leading the steel and metal building er****on work on a new TJ Maxx project in Colorado Springs alongside Sharp General Contractors.
By the time Rose from our team stopped by their jobsite, they had already wrapped up setting joists and were ahead of schedule, as mentioned by Wayne. On site, Rose also spoke with Chris Heydlauff, Project Manager at Sharp General Contractors, who highlighted the safety benefits of these remote-controlled hooks and how much his team enjoys using them!
We feel extremely proud to support our customers like Wayne and his team and help them push efficiency and safety forward in the field.

As a family-owned business, those same values are at the core of everything we do. The way we show up for each other is the way we show up for our customers too, with trust and consistency!
We would also like to congratulate our LEGO crane raffle winner, James Bennett from Bennett Services. 🏆 A great friend and someone who truly stands behind his work. His team’s commitment to quality design and detailing, backed by real experience with fabricators and erectors, is what sets them apart.
Grateful for all the conversations, the familiar faces, and the new connections this year. Until next time!
Everyone knows that ironwork is one of the toughest jobs out there, working at height, tight timelines, and constant pressure to move faster and safer.
