All of our st andard air- and hydraulic-release hooks provide good dampening against the sudden shock of line release under load. These rotary-release models, though, go a step further. By spinning freely, they remove the strain from the hook itself, rather than using a bumper pad to absorb recoil. This provides for smoother release and allows the hooks to h andle higher loads.
In addition, the smoother release prolongs the life of both the hook itself and the mooring lines it h andles. Of course, like our other models, rotary release hooks are made of heat-treated alloy steel, are hot-sprayed with zinc before finishing, and include the same safety features and ease of maintenance.
