PALFINGER CAR35 Automatic Release Hook – 35KN (2690 SWL)
Enhance safety, streamline operations, and maximize efficiency with the PALFINGER CAR35 Automatic Release Hook. Designed for demanding environments, this robust and reliable hook ensures secure and remote load release, minimizing the need for personnel in the danger zone. It is the trusted solution for marine, offshore, and industrial lifting applications where safety is paramount.
Key Features & Benefits:
-
Automatic, Remote Release:Â Allows for the safe disconnection of loads from a distance, significantly improving operator safety by eliminating the need for manual intervention under suspended loads.
-
High Capacity & Robust Construction: With a Safe Working Load (SWL) of 35 KiloNewtons (approx. 3.5 Tonne force, 2690 SWL), the CAR35 is built from high-strength steel to withstand the harshest conditions and provide long-term reliability.
-
Enhanced Safety Mechanisms:Â Features a secure, fail-safe locking system that prevents accidental release. The hook is designed for easy and visual confirmation of a locked or unlocked status.
-
Corrosion Resistant:Â Finished with a durable coating (often a high-grade galvanization or similar) to provide excellent resistance to corrosion from saltwater, moisture, and industrial chemicals, ensuring a long service life.
-
Simple & Reliable Operation:Â The intuitive design allows for easy engagement and automatic locking upon load pickup. Release is typically actuated by a remote control system (e.g., hydraulic or pneumatic), integrating seamlessly into your existing equipment.
-
Versatile Applications:Â Ideal for a wide range of uses including lifeboat and rescue boat release, davit systems, offshore cranes, winch operations, and general industrial lifting where remote release is critical.
