Abstract	In this study, an innovative cross-sectional modification is explored, positioned between the T-section and trapezoidal section, with the objective of enhancing the load-bearing capacity while minimizing stress concentrations. The crane hook model incorporating this novel cross-section was designed using CATIA V5. The crane hook model with T-shape and trapezoid cross sections were designed and also as mentioned the proposed modified cross section which is intermediate between T-shape and trapezoid with different radius of curvature were designed. Total six different crane hook models were done using Catia V5. Followed by, analysis of designed crane hook models using ANSYS 15.0 was done to evaluate the stress distribution and deformation under varying load conditions. The stress distribution, and deformation development were studied in all the designed crane hook models to find the optimum crane hook cross section. A systematic parametric analysis was conducted on all considered models of crane hook and identified the optimal configuration with the highest safety factor.
