Henriksen Crane Hooks
The HCH hooks are off-load crane hooks designed for lifting Fast Rescue Crafts, Man-Over-Board boats, Rigid Inflatable Boats (RIB) and tenders with a total weight of up to 10 000kg. The HCH hooks are designed for use on small boats for military, offshore and the leisure market.
Light-Weight
The Henriksen Crane Hooks differs from all our other hooks by being attached to the crane/davit instead of the boat. The advantage of attaching the hook to the boat, is that the weight of the crane line is kept at a minimum. A light line is safer and easier to handle, especially in rough weather. A crane hook adds more weight to the crane/davit line then a lifting ring and it is therefore critical to keep the weight of the crane hook at a minimum. All our crane hooks have therefore been designed to be as light as possible, and every HCH hook (except the smallest HCH 1,5) are all made exclusively out of grade 5 Titanium.
Operation of an Off-Load Crane Hook
Launch:
1. When the boat is close to water level, pull the release cord.
2. When the boat is waterborne, the hook will release automatically.
Recovery:
1. Grab the hook.
2. Prepare for recovery by setting the reset lever into “closed position”.
3. Close the hook.
4. Connect the lifting ring by pushing it into the hook.
