Sea Catch Offload Hook

Model OLH15, OLH25, OLH165

Sea Catch Offload Hook: counterweighted pivoting hook that releases a load line or strap automatically once the deployed load rests on the seabed or another support.

Description

The Sea Catch Offload Hook has a pivoting hook that receives a load line or strap (up to 3 inch / 7.62 cm diameter on the OLH25). After the load is deployed and the hitch pin removed, the load is lowered; once its weight is transferred to the seabed or other support, the counterweighted hook rotates on its pivot pin and releases the load line, and the hook is recovered. Models: OLH15, OLH25 and OLH165.

Key features

  • Heat-treated stainless steel plate construction
  • Shackle-based counterweight attached to the hook
  • OLH165 break load 330,693 lbs and SWL 66,139 lbs

Applications

Subsea placement of moorings, anchors and equipment. It must not be used in high seas where it may see extreme dynamic load fluctuations or a zero-load condition.
