A C hook is a device, generally attached to the hook of a lifting device via a bail, which "grabs" a coil of materials when inserted into the ID of that coil. It derives its name from the physical appearance of the device which resembles the letter "C". Counter-balancing weights may be utilized to add stability and balance in the lifting motion.[1]
