Electric Quick Release Hooks – Smart Mooring Safety
Electric quick release hooks (QRH) provide a modern solution for safe and efficient mooring. SME designs and manufactures electric QRH that release mooring lines instantly, even under full load. This allows ports to speed up vessel turnaround while improving the safety of crews and infrastructure.
Each unit is equipped with an electric capstan offering 10KN to 30KN traction force, making line handling faster and easier. The system includes a gear or worm gear speed reducer and motor power from 5.5kW to 30kW, ensuring strong and stable performance. With IP55 protection and Exd II BT4 explosion-proof certification, these hooks operate reliably in demanding marine environments.

Electric QRH improve safety by allowing operators to release lines smoothly without heavy manual effort. Their robust design and flexible installation options make them suitable for both new projects and retrofits. SME provides ports worldwide with electric QRH systems that combine strength, reliability, and advanced safety features.
Manual Quick Release Hooks – Reliable Mooring Solutions
Manual QRH provide ports with a safe and cost-effective solution for mooring operations. SME designs these hooks to release mooring lines quickly and securely, helping operators reduce risks while maintaining efficiency. Unlike electric QRH, manual versions require less maintenance, making them ideal for smaller terminals or facilities with limited infrastructure.
Furthermore, manual QRH come in single or multiple hook configurations. The base can be either cast or fabricated, which gives ports the flexibility to use them in new installations or retrofit existing berths. In addition, their robust structure ensures long service life under continuous operation.
