Hammar® HA200H - H20R Small Raft Model Remote Release Unit

Hammar Remote Release Systems are designed to release liferafts, evacuation systems and other lifesaving equipment on board vessels of all types, with the least possible effort. Hammar Remote Release Systems offer flexible solutions with many decisive advantages - for both safety and economy.

The H20 Small Raft model (green label) is used for USCG approved, non SOLAS 4 persons liferafts and all recreational rafts up to 12 persons. The Hammar H20 for small rafts consists of a double looped white rope line, a release mechanism and a Red Weak Link with a green lower thimble (breaking strength 1,2 +/- 0,4 kN). The white strong rope of Hammar H20 is secured to the deck or liferaft cradle and attached to the liferaft lashing with a slip hook. If the ship sinks, the water pressure will, within approximately 4 metres, activate a sharp knife, that cuts the white strong rope and the liferaft will float free. As the ship sinks, the liferaft painter line will be stretched and the liferaft starts to inflate. The Red Weak Link breaks and survivors can board the floating liferaft. The Hammar H20 needs no annual service, maintenance or spare parts, but must be replaced after 2 years of use on a ship.

H20 - Hydrostatic Release Unit
Hammar H20 is a hydrostatic release unit designed to be safe and reliable in all extreme conditions that you and your ship might meet on the oceans. Should the vessel sink, the Hammar H20, which is activated by increasing water pressure, will automatically release liferafts and EPIRBs.

The H20 is the best-selling hydrostatic release unit in the world and it has been saving lives on the oceans for more than 25 years. Its safe, reliable and simple design, has earned it more worldwide approvals than any other unit.

The construction of glass fibre reinforced nylon prevents the Hammar H20 from corroding, which means that no annual service, maintenance or spare parts are needed. You simply install a new one every two years and dispose of the old one. With the environment in mind, the old unit is 97% recyclable.
Thanks to simple handling procedures, storage costs are also kept to a minimum. The H20 enables easier, quicker, trouble-free installation and thereby considerably reducing your customers' downtime ashore.

H20 hydrostatic release can also be combined with Hammar's Remote Release Systems, which enables you to release liferafts from the bridge or other strategic locations onboard. This means that in an emergency situation you can save precious time and possible also lives.
