The RUD ROV Hook has been specifically developed to improve safety and control when lifting, turning and positioning loads underwater. Designed in response to the operational challenges faced by subsea professionals, it combines advanced safety features with efficient handling.
At the core of the ROV Hook’s design is its innovative twin-trigger mechanism. Both triggers must be pressed simultaneously before the hook can open, helping to prevent unintended release during underwater lifting operations. This added level of control helps eliminate common subsea lifting risks, including accidental snagging, entanglement and load shedding.
Designed by the market, for the market, The RUD ROV Hook is a direct response to the challenges experienced during offshore lifting operations. Its design enables ROV operators to handle loads safely and efficiently, even in demanding underwater environments.
The ROV Hook is compatible with most commonly available ROV grippers, allowing it to be easily integrated into a wide range of subsea operations. Its robust and user friendly design supports the safe handling of loads during underwater installation, inspection, maintenance and repair work.
Available with working load limits of 10t and 25t, the RUD ROV Hook provides a reliable solution for both standard and heavy duty subsea lifting requirements. Every hook undergoes 100% crack testing to verify structural integrity and offers a 4:1 safety factor. The RUD ROV Hook is also fully compliant with EN 1677, demonstrating its commitment to meeting recognised safety and quality requirements.
Its contribution to the lifting industry was recognised at the LEEA Awards 2024, where the RUD ROV Hook received the Excellence in Product Innovation award. The judges praised its focus on safety and ease of use, its ability to streamline complex subsea tasks and its versatility across different sectors, describing it as a true game changer in lifting technology.
By improving control during connection, load handling and release, the RUD ROV Hook can help operators complete underwater lifting tasks more safely and efficiently. Its controlled opening mechanism also reduces the risk of disruption caused by an accidental release, supporting more reliable subsea project delivery.
The RUD ROV Hook successfully combines enhanced safety features with operational efficiency, helping make subsea lifting operations safer, quicker and more reliable.
With its award winning twin trigger mechanism, certified performance and proven suitability for demanding underwater applications, the RUD ROV Hook is engineered for ultimate safety in subsea lifting.
