ANSWERS TO OUR MOST COMMON QUESTIONS
WHAT MATERIAL ARE YOUR HOOKS MADE OF
all our hooks and gambrels are made from 304 stainless steel
WHAT LENGTH HOOKS DO I NEED
length of hooks depends on animal size and the height of your rail you are hanging from . It takes about 7ft rail height on a short hook for hanging beef quarters. full sides of beef require about 10.5-11 foot rail height if using trolleys and short 6" hooks
WHAT SIZE GAMBREL DO I NEED
this depends on the type and size of the animals you plan to butcher. Short legged animals like hogs will need a narrower gambrel than say a beef gambrel you gambrel should be as wide as is easily hooked to the animal to put more outward pull on the carcass to help with the splitting process
