Description

The T-ISS Liferaft Release hook PX01 is an automatic release hook that can handle liferafts up to a safe working load of 35 kN. This hook can be used for davit launched rafts of up to 35 – 40 pax. The PX01 release hook has two modes of operation to allow for safe evacuation regardless of the conditions:

1. Automatic release when the craft enters the water
2. Manual release when waterborne if auto-release is not possible due to added load on the reserve boat while being towed or when sea conditions are bad

Important note: As of January 2026, the PX01 is approved for use on life rafts only. It will no longer be valid for installation on rescue boats. A new Rescue Boat Hook (the PX03P) is coming soon.
