Product overview
History of material development
During its nascent stage of development, YOKE used general market standard steel while investing in material research and developed high-strength alloy metal to expand into new application areas.
1999
Strength 800 Mpa
HRC 21
At the initial phase of manufacturing, YOKE used general market standard steel with strength and hardness, both compliant with the EN1677 specification.
2009
Strength 1000 Mpa
HRC 43
Through material upgrades, YOKE became the first manufacturer to distribute Grade 1000 industrial safety hooks in Asia.
2019
Strength 1200 Mpa
HRC 48
YOKE was among the four manufacturers of Grade 1200 industrial safety hooks in the world (and the only one in Asia)
History of product development
We have adopted both progressive and leapfrog R&D for next-gen technologies to develop products with different specifications based on our observation of product application in different domains to enhance our products’ added value while consolidating our market presence and expanding our market for product application.
The main products can be divided into two series of metal processing products such as "8-series" and "N-series". "8-series" are industrial lifting hooks and accessories to ensure the safety of operations, while "N-series" are safety components for fall protection and accessories to protect personal safety in high altitude areas. Starting from 2020 onward, we created an independent series for our self-retracting lifeline (SRL) products. In light of the significant discrepancies that exist in our products across different series, we have decided to use weight as the basis of production capacity disclosure for different series.
Product Introduction
Industrial lifting components
8 series products
The Company has been distributing its “8-series” products under its original brand of “YOKE,” and these products are mainly used in the chains, iron cables and lifting belts related to the handling and moving operations required by the working environment. In addition to establishing subsidiaries in China and Vietnam, we also have joint ventures in Germany, Japan, South Korea and Thailand, and they shoulder the burden of developing the market. Meanwhile, we have also collaborated with distributors in 41 countries around the world with long-term relationships so to provide comprehensive channels and services for our customers.
In 2021, the most important product category of 8 series is the chain accessories series, accounting for 47.08% of the annual revenue of 8 Series products, covering Grade 80, Grade 100 and Grade 120 lifting products and accessories, and in the past two years, Grade 100 products have replaced Grade 80 as mainstream products.
With the market growth trend and the rising demand for lifting accessories from manufacturing plants in the post-epidemic era, YOKE continues to monitor the market and the economic recovery of various countries, actively developing new customers and strengthening the connection with existing customers to provide a stable supply of goods to distributors all over the world, with the order volume increased by 19% compared to 2020. However, the shortage of raw materials caused by the delay in international logistics will still cause uncontrollable factors in customer service due to the long delivery time of products in 2021.
In addition, in order to enhance the overall value of the industry's products and services, from 2021 YOKE has actively promoted the RFID SupraTag digital solution to address the issue of conventional safety operation instructions not properly stored, safety inspection not recorded in detail, missing or lost, as well as other issues that often cause lifting safety concerns. RFID SupraTag was initially recognized by Japan and India, and gradually spread to the world, and opened the road to e-commerce sales SupraTag.
By the end of 2021, YOKE products have been fitted with more than 1 million RFID chips, the industry's first in the production process of information digitalization, and the product in use, inspection stage required information uploaded to the cloud, Any enterprise and user can download product digital information through smartphone app or with a reader, offering transparent and convenient access to product safety-related information to ensure optimum safety in use.
Due to the COVID-19, business travel is still restricted, and YOKE will promote the service globally through the Internet through video conferences and educational videos. By the end of 2021, YOKE has conduced 30 online training sessions for distributors to fully demonstrate the new value of RFID SupraTag products and inject new product trends into the lifting industry.
