Pneumatic Release Harbor Towing Hook
Our pneumatic release harbor towing hook stands as the industry benchmark for secure and efficient vessel towing operations. Engineered to excel under the most severe working conditions, this advanced towing system guarantees reliable connections while offering instant emergency release capabilities—whether under full load or slack conditions. This makes it an indispensable tool for marine towing operations, harbor towing services, and ship towing systems.
Disc Type Quick Release Towing Hooks are meticulously designed for towing with steel wire ropes, nylon ropes, and polypropylene towing ropes. These hooks have earned approval from various classification societies, ensuring compliance with the highest industry standards. Available in a range from 5 to 100 tons safe working load (SWL), higher load capacities can be customized upon request, catering to diverse heavy-duty towing needs.
A standout feature of this hook is its unique release mechanism. When activated, the disc rotates freely until all release energy is absorbed, preventing a direct impact of release forces on the hook. This innovative design enhances safety during towing operations and minimizes wear and tear on the equipment.
Specifically tailored for towing with steel wire ropes, the quick release harbor type towing hook draws inspiration from the proven mooring hook design, offering versatility as both a mooring and towing solution. The standard range harbor type towing hook is available from 15-100 tons SWL, with higher loads available upon special request, making it suitable for a wide array of harbor towing applications.
