The Manibus Lifting Automatic Hook Unit (AHU) is attached to a standard crane hook.
The AHU connects to the interface on each container or basket when sliding into the funnel.
To disconnect, the crane operator sends a radio signal and slacks the wire.
Disconnection under load is not possible.

Manibus Lifting was born from more than 25 years of offshore operational experience and a clear unresolved challenge: cargo transfer still requires personnel to enter the line of fire during crane-to-cargo connection.
The concept was initiated by Ronny Tøvik and further developed together with partner Diinef, combining offshore lifting experience with mechanical design, lifting equipment knowledge and product development expertise.
Designed in cooperation with crane operators, lifting personnel and hands-on specialists, Manibus is built around real offshore operations — enabling safer, faster and more robust cargo handling with existing cranes and cargo units.
