Triple5LX Hook Release Mechanism

The SSI hook design principle has evolved within the Oil and Gas industry due to 50+ years of use within our own SSI Capsules. Due to the increased concerns of Twinfall hook safety SSI has been able to adopt the same inherently safe working principles, bringing Single Fall Lifeboat Safety to the Twinfall user.

The Load Locks the Hook

The Triple5LX Release System is engineered with a lift over centre design as the central concept. Lift Over Center is defined as the load point of the hook being directly above the centre of the pivot point of the hook. Such a design ensures that the weight of the boat works to keep the hooks closed when it is suspended above the water.

Safety without Manual Pin

There is a desire to have additional locks (pins) in any hook body for added safety. Pinning each hook however creates danger, if these pins are left in during an emergency. The Triple5LX has a built-in Internal secondary safety system in each hook that acts as a pin but can of be disengaged from the helmsman’s position.

Safety without Manual Pin

Eliminating the Hydrostat

Triple5LX begins with a fundamentally stable system resulting in no need for a hydrostat system. This safer hook system has less operational risks and less maintenance concerns.

A Deliberate Separate Action
for On-load Release

Traditional lifeboat hooks use the same handle for an off-load release and on-load release. For safety SSI intentionally designed a distinctly different method for on-load release. A Triple5LX on-load release requires deliberate separate steps using a secondary handle.

Reset Hooks from the Helmsman’s Position

The Triple5LX Hook System uses high strength, maximum efficiency push / pull cables connected directly to the hooks. This allows the hooks to be RESET as well as opened from the safety of the helmsman’s position.
