LIFTING EQUIPMENT, DECK MACHINERY & WINCHES PATENTED SUBSEA AND ROV HOOKS FROM NAUTILUS RIGGING
Nautilus Rigging (UK) Ltd are internationally recognised as the leading innovators in safe lifting solutions as the manufacturers and suppliers of the Patented Nautilus Hook™.
The company achieved this recognition by focusing their design criteria to eliminate known industry concerns with respect to the inherent safety hazards incorporated in traditional style lifting hooks.
The innovative Nautilus Hook design was awarded the prestigious American Society of Mechanical Engineers - Best Mechanical Engineering Award at the Offshore Technology Conference in Houston where
the unique, patented, safety features were deemed a tangible step change in lifting safety coupled with real global potential to reduce risk in the workplace in all lifting operations were cited by the judges as the deciding factors in awarding Nautilus Hooks this highest accolade.
Nautilus Subsea and ROV release hooks incorporate all the innovative safety features of the company’s topside hooks, including the integrated safety handle and dual sided sliding lock mechanism which makes topside handling a simple, safe and secure operation, removing fingers from the hazardous hook/ sling interface area and providing an easy one handed operation.
The ROV Hooks are currently available in 2 versions, both with a WLL of 22 tonnes, the Long shank NH-ROV22E and eye top release hook NH-SS22E. The hooks are fitted with a bespoke 316 stainless steel ROV activation wire tested to 1200 kg.
Nautilus Hooks are supplied with the manufacturers test certification which includes the individual proof test details and the unique hook number for simple traceability meeting all corporate compliance requirements.
“As with our Topside Hooks range the introduction of our Nautilus Subsea range has proved extremely popular with the major ROV and Subsea contractors who have been quick to recognise the unique safety benefits that our positive locking ROV hooks provide, where the patented “positive” locking mechanism eliminates the risk of unintentional release which is a known and inherent design hazard associated with the use of traditional style “snap on” ROV hooks. The positive locking function of the Nautilus ROV hook ensures that load integrity is maintained at all times until released by the ROV manipulator. This unique and patented function provides operators the cost efficient solution to eliminate the risks of incurring expensive downtime and/or equipment damage that invariably results from any unplanned, or uncontrolled, release of the load that is a well known risk associated with all traditional style ROV hooks” Managing Director, Mr Bill Toon
Following their success with the initial 22t versions of the subsea/ROV hooks the company has now initiated their development plans to extend the range to include a smaller load rated version of 12.5t and larger 36t rated models to be released in early 2016
