Hook, Lifting, 22 Tonnes, ROV – Nautilus NH-ROV22E
Technically advanced design with patented positive locking function sets new standard for safe, secure subsea lifting. All standard Nautilus lifting hooks designs carry the same inherent hazard: to open or control the hook, the operator MUST place their hand within the hazardous hook/sling interface. This is a known cause of common pinch and trap injuries associated with the use of traditional latch lock hooks some of which are serious finger and hand injuries that have resulted in costly compensation claims. The patented Nautilus lifting Hooks design eliminates this risk and provides a simple, safe, one-handed operation that puts worker safety first. This unique design puts an end to pinch and trap hand injuries, and thanks to the intelligent configuration between the handle and lock which promotes a rotational arm motion to open the hook, giving the hooks a light and easy operation, the wrist bending (and strain) motion required by traditional hooks is also eliminated.
Nautilus lifting Hooks have proven safety benefits that enhance workplace safety for all lifting operations. A technically advanced design that was developed over 3 years with the aim of putting worker safety first. The prototype hooks were subjected to 12 weeks of field trials on North Sea drilling rigs in spring 2009, totalling 3,125 man hours of use.
Since the products were launched in September 2009, Nautilus Hooks have been in faultless service with many leading organisations, who, wishing to remain at the forefront of safety initiatives, immediately adopted Nautilus Hooks as the next generation lifting hook having recognized the proven safety advantages and positive step change in safety that this new safety product provides.
