Quick Release Towing Hooks

The Strainstall quick release towing hooks enable ships to be towed safely under severe working conditions, and allow the towing line to be released whether slack or under full safe working load. The towing hooks have a quick release mechanism that allows the towing line to be instantaneously disengaged under full load to ensure the safety of the vessel and personnel. The towing hook can be released from the wheel house by pulling the release wire or by pushing a button.
