The RUD ROV-HOOK.
Unique cost efficiency in marine and offshore lifting challenges.
Did you know that RUD is also your lifting expert for marine, offshore and subsea applications? Our ROV-HOOK provides two efficient lifting solutions for demanding marine and offshore applications. Its innovative safety mechanism makes it impossible to accidentally open the hook. The additional version, with up to 25 tonnes of WLL, opens up completely new applications.
The RUD ROV-HOOK offers compelling advantages for marine and offshore tasks:
- 100% crack-tested, ensuring reliability and safety.
- WLL ranging from 10 to 25 tons, suitable for heavy-duty applications.
- No risk of shedding loads through innovative twin trigger mechanism.
- Single handed operation.
- No snagging, providing a safer and more efficient operation.
- Safety factor of 4:1 based on the WLL, meeting rigorous safety standards.


Twin trigger mechanism – ultimate safety:
- The hook only opens when both locking mechanisms are pressed simultaneously.
- Ultimate safety: Accidental opening of the hook and loss of load are impossible.
High resistance to external impacts.
The hook features high-quality corrosion protection through a zinc flake coating, and its high wear resistance is achieved by increased heat treatment parameters. Additionally, the fastening screws are of a high strength class, offering excellent resistance to stress. The RUD ROV-HOOK is also repairable, further extending its lifespan and usability.


The hook can be operated by all commonly used ROV manipulators, including the grabber.
The hook can be approached at inclined angles up to 30° from the ideal gripping position perpendicular to hook flat side.
The safety latch intermeshes with the hook nose.
The safety latch automatically closes when the ROV releases the triggers.
The hook design minimises the time the ROV takes to carry out the attachment/detachment operation.
The hook safety latch opening and closing can be operated by a single ROV manipulator.
The RUD ROV-HOOK eliminates the risk of snagging and accidental rigging.
