Our GMH-type quick release mooring hooks are a common choice for mooring buoys. By default, these hooks are equipped with a rope keeper to mitigate unintentional release of mooring lines, particularly during heightened wave activities. While usually supplied as individual units tailored for seamless integration into the buoy's structure, configurations with multiple hooks are also accessible.
The GMH standard mooring hook is designed for straightforward operations, even when subjected to its peak Safe Working Load (SWL). It incorporates a dual-step release system to avoid unexpected disconnections. Resetting our quick-release mooring hooks is achieved with a simple rotational action, and energy-dissipating rubber blocks are incorporated for controlled release.
We offer hooks with capacities ranging from 40 to 200 tonnes (SWL per hook).
Employing a mooring hook on a buoy can pose certain challenges, especially under adverse weather conditions or if the quick release is activated under duress. With operator safety at the forefront, our hooks boast features such as the dual-step release and energy-absorbing rubber components.
Standard features of our mooring buoy hooks include:
We have innovated a telemetry system that empowers port professionals to oversee their mooring buoys remotely, reinforcing operational safety.
