What Are ROV Hooks?
ROV hooks are specialized lifting hooks designed for subsea operations, allowing remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) to safely attach, lift, and release loads underwater. They’re built for visibility, ROV manipulation, and secure locking in deepwater environments.
Who This Is For
Engineering teams and project managers seeking a reliable partner
Construction managers and field personnel who need problems solved
Offshore oil & gas, marine construction, and subsea installation teams
Why It Matters
Subsea lifts demand precision and safety without diver intervention. The right ROV hook ensures:
- Secure attachment and controlled release
- Reduced risk of dropped objects or snagging
- Faster, more efficient subsea operations
Types of ROV Hooks (Materials & Options)
Crosby ROV Shank Hook
High-strength alloy steel hook with hexagonal handle for ROV manipulation, heavy-duty latch, and high-visibility coating. Includes inspection indicators (e.g., QUIC-CHECK®). Broad capacity range across sizes.
Crosby ROV Eye Hook
Forged steel eye hooks with a remote-operable latch and tip extension for easier handling. Bright coating for visibility and robust safety features for offshore lifting.
GN ROV Shank Hook (HK5 / HK5N)
Alloy steel hook with long shank and remotely operated latch system for quick, secure attachment. Designed for high-capacity subsea lifting, towing, and mooring (WLL can extend into high-tonnage ranges).
GN HK2 Standard ROV Eye Hook
Subsea eye hook with safety latch, designed for reliable ROV handling during lifting, towing, and mooring in deepwater operations.
GN HK2 Enlarged Eye ROV Eye Hook
Features a larger eye opening to improve manipulator grip and handling in challenging subsea conditions.
Nautilus ROV Hooks (Positive Locking)
Patented “positive locking” system prevents self-release under load. Outward-opening locking arm reduces fouling; self-locking under load enhances safety for critical subsea lifts.
RUD ROV-Hook 10T
Smooth-profile ROV hook designed to prevent snagging and accidental rigging. Features an outward-opening, auto-closing safety latch for secure subsea lifting and easy operation with standard ROV manipulators.
Green Pin ROV Shank Hook
Grade 8 eye hook with a long, often hexagonal shank for easy ROV grip. Wire rope on the body and latch enable quick remote opening/closing. White coating improves visibility; design reduces sling wear. Typical WLL: ~12–80 tons.
Green Pin ROV Eye Hook
Grade 8 eye hook with wire rope-actuated latch for swift ROV operation. Compatible with standard connectors; smooth powder coat minimizes sling wear. High-visibility white finish.
Why Do You Need ROV Hooks
If your project involves complex subsea handling, the indicators below can help determine when purpose-built ROV hooks are required over standard lifting hardware.
Operational & Safety Indicators
- Subsea installation/retrieval without diver access
- Need for remote attachment and controlled release at the seabed
- Risk of dropped objects or snagging with standard hooks
- Low-visibility environments require high-visibility hardware
- Requirement for secure, non-self-releasing latch systems
Design & Handling Requirements
- ROV manipulator compatibility (handles, wire-actuated latches)
- Fast installation (guided, non-threaded, or quick-lock designs)
