Release hooks suited to this application.
Instant tow-line disconnection under full towline tension.
Tugboats and anchor-handling vessels must be able to instantly disconnect a tow line under extreme tension - a girting or capsize risk means release cannot wait for the load to be reduced. The release must work reliably from the wheelhouse, away from the hook.
PRD Hook's TW Series and TW-PN Series are engineered specifically for towing applications, providing emergency release under full towline load. The TW-PN Series adds pneumatic actuation for remote release from the bridge, eliminating the need for crew at the towing hook during a critical disconnection.
