Product Introduction

The Pelican Hook is a type of quick-release hook commonly used in marine safety equipment. Specifically designed for life rafts, it allows the raft to be held firmly on the life raft cradle in normal time. Upon activation in case of emergency, either manually or via hydrostatic release, the hook disengages instantly, allowing the life raft to inflate and float free.
This product is engineered for reliability under extreme conditions, including saltwater exposure, UV radiation, and heavy loads. It is widely used on commercial vessels, fishing boats, cruise ships, and offshore platforms in compliance with SOLAS.
