Quick Release Towing Hooks

Mampaey is more than 100 years a supplier of towing hooks and has achieved market leadership in this field. Two types of hooks are available to serve all customer needs, the “Harbour Type” and “Disc Type” Towing Hook. Both towing hooks have the “Quick Release” mechanism that can easily disconnect the towline at all times under full load to guarantee the safety of tug and towage in dangerous situations. The hook can be released from the wheelhouse by pulling the release wire or optionally by pushing a button.

Mampaey has an outstanding reputation with regard to the quality of her products. A track record of 100 years learns that Mampaey towing hooks have a long life cycle combined with low operational costs. Spare parts for towing hooks are hardly ever requested. The Total Cost of Ownership makes every Mampaey hook a solid investment in safety.
