Effort required to release the load can be adjusted to suit your application (effort can be reduced or increased) Do not side load the Remote load release device as it may cause loss of retainer rings and other parts or permanently damage the device.

Third part whiteness test and certification available at extra cost (3rd party approval DNV, BV, Lloyds etc...) Multi-Directional operation, can be used in the horizontal or vertical plain. To place a load safely and precisely or as a dropping clamp. Used to precisely place a load in position then remotely (and therefore safely) release the load from the crane hook (rigging gear). Using this method the clamp releases the load when the weight has been transferred to the floor, (other surface for example lorry trailer building, ground etc....) Hydraulic pressure to drive a hydraulic cylinder to actuate the release lever of the Remote load release device is being used with the device ram models. These units can be activated by hydraulic hand pump, air-hydraulic foot pump, or electric pump. The "PNU-Series" Hook-Clamp is fitted with a compressed air cylinder (Pneumatic ram) and allows for air pressure to release the load. The Air Cylinders operate at 60 to 100 PSI.While in its loaded position, do not obstruct the Remote load release device so as to prevent its body being aligned straight with the line of load. Misalignment may prevent the movable jaw from releasing the connected member even with the device in the released position.

After use in or near sea water, a fresh water rinse of the Remote load release device is advised before it is stored. Ideal for use in the water utilities industry to automatically place pumps into sumps or wet wells. The "S-Series" Hook-Clamp is affixed to a steel plate to allow more accuracy when attempting to release a load, applications such as towing and off-loading in the ocean are perfect for this Hook-Clamp A multitude of general Industrial applications; indeed for any application where the rigging gear needs to be disconnected though is is an awkward, difficult to get to position. Automatic remote release of the rigging gear prevents unavoidable accidents.Once the safety hitch pin has been removed the clamp is“loaded” or “Live” and pulling the cord attached to the release lever WILL DROP / RELEASE the load. Pulling firmly on a release line connected to the end of the release lever also means that the operator can safety release the load away from the “danger area”. The release line can be activated “Directly” in any direction within the 90 degrees perpendicular and parallel to the line of load. The “Standard” release lever can also be operated from above the load as shown in the diagram below with the use of a suitable pulley; effectively giving 180 degree operation. Welding, Heat Treatment, and Lubrication - All welding is with 17-4 SS wire only. All welded parts and pins are thoroughly cleaned and heat treated to H-1025 which increases the rating of the welding by 20-30% and the parts by 15%. Heat treating also results in improved mechanical, fatigue and corrosion properties across the board. Final assembly of the product includes the light application of a lubricant to each pin such as AQUA Lube, to protect the pin surfaces from pitting during extended marine use and aid in smooth mechanical function of the device. For higher capacity units, an NLGI #2.5 grease with moly added and a temperature range from 0 to 425F is applied.
