Offshore Petroleum Release Hooks

The Challenge

Offshore mooring and anchor-handling operations demand instant load release under extreme line tension - conditions where manual load reduction is impossible and delays cause vessel damage or crew injury. Many platform zones are ATEX-classified, ruling out electrical release systems.

The PRD Hook Solution

PRD Hook's WT Series and TW-PN Series release up to 20 tons (~44,000 lbs) under full working load. Pneumatic actuation uses compressed air only - no electrical components at the hook - making it the preferred choice for hazardous, gas-risk offshore environments. Hydraulic actuation integrates directly with existing platform systems.
