Putting ease of use first

Nautilus Hooks have proven safety benefits that enhance workplace safety for all lifting operations.

A technically advanced design that was developed over 3 years with the aim of putting worker safety first. The prototype hooks were subjected to 12 weeks of field trials on North Sea drilling rigs in spring 2009, totalling 3,125 man hours of use.

Since the products were launched in September 2009, Nautilus Hooks have been in faultless service with many leading organisations, who, wishing to remain at the forefront of safety initiatives, immediately adopted Nautilus Hooks as the "next generation" lifting hook having recognised the proven safety advantages and positive step change in safety that this new safety product provides.

Key findings from the field trials include:

  • 89% agreed Nautilus Hooks™ reduce pinch and trap injury during crane operations
  • 84% agreed Nautilus Hooks™ improve safety for hook users
  • 80% prefer using Nautilus Hooks™ over a latch-lock hook
  • 97% of users found operating Nautilus Hooks™ easy to understand and grasp
  • 89% of users found the Nautilus Hooks™ sliding lock mechanism easy to operate

Among other positive feedback, users said Nautilus Hooks™

  • Provide a much safer operation and control of the hook
  • Have a lighter feel, due to leverage from the handle
  • Are easy to operate, due to the side-mounted sliding lock mechanism
  • Reduce wrist strain, due to the ergonomic design and rotational operating motion
