Our quick release mooring hooks type GMH are often used on mooring buoys as well. As a standard they are equipped with a rope keeper, a device to avoid accidentally slip of the mooring lines caused by for example waves. Hooks for mooring buoys are most often supplied as single hooks, to be integrated in the structure of the buoy. However, these quick release mooring hooks can be supplied as multiple assemblies as well.
The standard 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.
Our buoy hooks are available in a range of 40 – 200 tons (SWL per hook).
