quick release hooks for ports, terminals and jetties

Our quick release mooring hooks type GMH are especially designed to guarantee safe and efficient mooring operations at oil, gas, LNG, chemical, iron, coal and grain jetties. All hooks are available in single and multiple assemblies and can be equipped with a wide range of options.

The GMH mooring hook can be operated manually with a minimum effort, even at full SWL. A two-step release mechanism prevents accidental opening. All our quick release mooring hooks can be reset manually by means of a simple rotation movement. Rubber blocks absorb the energy impact during the release.

All hooks are tested in our own factory on our calibrated 3,500 kN hydraulic testing machine and all test certificates will be issued as a part of the user manual and construction file. If requested, the test can be witnessed by a classification authority of your choice.

Wide range of possibilities

Our quick release mooring hooks are available in a range of 40 – 200 tons (SWL per hook).

Typical mooring hook configurations:

single mooring hooks units;
