ROV Operable Quick Release Systems
The quick release system generally uses a single lever mechanism, originally designed by Pipeshield to provide a simple, safe procedure for either diver or ROV to operate at sea bed.
Hydraulic Powered Surface Release System
If required, most frames can be mounted with a water pressured hydraulic ram and air pump system that will allow the quick release system to be operated remotely from the deck of the vessel.

Additionally we have manual release frames and beams for diver deployment. All frames are designed with a DAF allowance of 2.0 i.e. the ultimate capacity is double the static SWL. The standard tubular framed equipment operates to 200m water depth but the non -tubular frames are suitable for any depth of operation. |
