Hammar Hydrostatic Release System

Product Description

Hammar Hydrostatic Release System

Two versions are available, the Green Hydrostatic release is designed for liferafts from 4 up to 12 persons and outside SOLAS regulations, the Yellow Hydrostatic release unit is designed for liferafts from 6 up to 150 persons.

The white rope of Hammar H20 is secured to the deck or liferaft cradle and attached to the liferaft lashing with a sliphook. The water pressure will, within approx. 4 metres, activate a sharp knife, that cuts the white rope and the liferaft will float free. As the vessel sinks, the liferaft painter line will be stretched and the liferaft starts to inflate. The Hammar H20 needs no annual service, maintenance or spare parts, but must be replaced after 2 years of use on a ship.

• The installation is totally weatherproof, requiring virtually no maintenance.
• Requires replacement every two years.
• Hammar spare parts are available.

• 1-9045 Green Up to 4 Man Liferafts
• 1-9046 Yellow 6 - 150 Man Liferafts
