👉 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.

This year at , having Oliver Gleize, Pierre Gleize, and Arthur Gleize at the booth together as a family made an already special tradeshow feel even more meaningful. 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.
With the legendary 2-ton remote-controlled LudwigHook, we’ve tried to make a big part of this trade safer and easier for hundreds of ironworkers across North America. With its wireless unhooking feature and built-in safety mechanisms, crews can release loads in seconds from a safe distance on the ground.
🚨PLEASE NOTE: The current 2-ton / 4400lb version is now being upgraded to a new 2.5-ton model, which will come with an 11% price increase. With limited units remaining, the current 2-ton version is now in its final run. This is your last chance to secure it at the best price.

🎉 Las Vegas LEGO Crane Raffle Winners! 🎉
The past few weeks in Las Vegas were incredible for Team OTH. From connecting with industry leaders at both the Ironworkers IMPACT show and CONEXPO-CON/AGG to visiting jobsites and training facilities for live demos, it was an amazing run for our crew.
We’re excited to recognize three customers who not only use our Quick-Release LudwigHooks but also won the LEGO crane raffle we hosted during the shows. The Herrick Corporation, already a LudwigHook user, is currently using the hooks on the Las Vegas A’s Ballpark project. We first met their team in person at IMPACT and later had the chance to visit their jobsite.
Schuh Construction LLC , a leading steel and metal building erector from Wisconsin, and Pierce Crane Inc dba Roth Crane Service a family-owned crane service provider from California, both stopped by our CONEXPO booth, saw how LudwigHooks eliminate the need for crews to manually climb and unhook loads, quickly recognized the safety and efficiency benefits, and placed orders for their first LudwigHooks on the spot.
Las Vegas was unforgettable. Huge thanks to everyone who stopped by our booths, shared a conversation, and supported the OTH crew. We can’t wait to see you all again on the road! 🚛🏗️
Training with the next generation of ironworkers. 👷♂️
After meeting the teams from Ironworkers Local 433 and at the , we had the pleasure to visit the training center of Local 433 in Nevada and give a hands-on session to their students.
In this video, Pierre Gleize demonstrates how to choke a column using the Wireless Quick-Release LudwigHook, allowing crews to release the rigging remotely instead of climbing back up to unhook it manually.
Big thank you to Local 433 for having us in your class and giving us the opportunity to work with the next generation of ironworkers!
🚨 Day 2 at CONEXPO!
We made the TOP 10 most Innovative Equipment! 🙌 Come to Booth N10109, scan, vote, and back the LudwigHook.
