Quick release towing hooks
Fendercare Marine provides quick release towing hooks to enable ships to be towed safely under severe working conditions.
The quick release towing hooks have a quick release mechanism that allows the towing line to be instantaneously disengaged under full load to ensure the safety of the tug and personnel. The towing hooks can be released from the wheel house by pulling the release wire or by pushing a button. At full safe working load it is possible to release the towing hooks manually, requiring a load of approximately 15kg.
Remote control systems can be supplied with either a hydraulic or pneumatic release mechanism. An accurate load monitoring system can also be incorporated into the towing hooks.
Optional Items:
- Pneumatic remote control
- Hydraulic remote control
- Load monitoring
- Rail track fixings
- Bulk head mountings
- Integrated capstan structures
Quick release towing hooks features and benefits:
- Simplicity of release
- Release force is around 15kg
- Wide horizontal and vertical ranges of movement in each hook, so the towing line remains inline with the vessel at all times
- Supplied with an independent classification society certificate as specified by the customer
- Solid state logic for remote control system
