Meat Hooks, Gambrels & Butcher Tools

A butcher hook holds a carcass, a leg of prosciutto or fifty salami without bending, and the difference between a good one and a cheap one shows up the first time you load it. Fifty eight lines here covering hooks, gambrels, hangers and the handling tools that go with them.

Most of what we stock is Lonatini, Italian made in stainless steel. The professional one point butchers hook is the workhorse, and the round end hooks are kinder on netting if you are hanging finished salami rather than fresh meat. For breaking down a side, the 12mm stainless 304 meat gambrel at 550mm with a fixed ring takes the weight properly, and the five hook stainless hanger turns one ceiling point into five.

The prickers live here too. A salami pricker with a safety cap is the sensible choice if children are anywhere near the shed, and the U pin version is faster if you are working through a full batch. Simes staples in galvanised and stainless are for closing casings, and the Italian stainless hand bone saw is the one our butchers actually use.

There is a prosciutto vice with a black clamp for slicing a whole leg at the table, which is worth seeing in person.

Everything is in stock at Laverton North and Epping. See also netting and netting tubes and knives. Part of our Salami & Sausages range.

Frequently asked questions

Which meat hook should I use?

The professional one point butchers hook is the everyday hook for hanging salami and larger meats, in lengths from 100 to 250 mm. The 60 mm round end hooks suit salami and small meats, and swivel hooks let you turn the meat while you work on it.

What is a meat gambrel used for?

A gambrel is a bar with hooks at each end that spreads and holds a carcass or side by the legs, so it hangs open for breaking down, cooling or skinning. We stock a 12 mm stainless steel 304 gambrel, 550 mm wide with a fixed hanging ring and rated to 200 kg, and a heavier 15 mm gambrel with a swivel pulley for a rail, rated to 350 kg.

Are your meat hooks stainless steel?

Most are. The bulk of our hooks and gambrels are Italian-made stainless steel from Lonatini, which suits food contact and cool, damp curing rooms where plain steel would rust. Check each listing for the material.
