Built to the highest industry standards, it features a robust 37KN breaking load and a 35KN Safe Working Load (SWL), ensuring dependable performance when it matters most. Its intuitive on-load/off-load release mechanism is a critical safety feature for all vessels requiring full compliance with international regulations.
Key Features & Benefits
-
High-Capacity Safety: With a 37KN breaking load and a 35KN Safe Working Load (SWL), this hook is built to handle the extreme forces encountered during launch and recovery, providing a critical margin of safety.
-
Dual Release Capability: Features both on-load and off-load release functionality. This allows for a safe disconnection in all scenarios, whether the craft is in the water (off-load) or in a critical emergency where immediate release under tension (on-load) is necessary.

SOLAS & MED Compliant: Manufactured in accordance with the stringent requirements of the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS) and carries MED (Marine Equipment Directive) approval, ensuring global regulatory acceptance.
-
Corrosion-Resistant Construction:Â Manufactured from high-grade, marine-grade materials with corrosion-resistant coatings, guaranteeing long-term durability and reliable operation in the harsh marine environment.
-
Clear Safety Markings:Â The hook is clearly marked with its SWL (35KN) and model number (W0932) for easy identification and inspection, a vital aspect of port state control and vessel safety audits.
-
Positive Locking Mechanism:Â Ensures the hook remains securely closed until the release is intentionally activated, preventing accidental deployment.
