Pelican Hooks
A pelican hook is a piece of nautical rigging hardware composed of a hinged link held closed by a circumferential link capable of being released under load.
Small examples are held closed by hand while the retaining link is displaced while larger examples are hit with a hammer or sledge hammer to release. The asymmetric appearance of the two hinged pieces is similar in appearance to a pelican’s beak. It is frequently used to secure ships’ anchors and life raft
- Safe and secure under load

Typical Aplication
Pelican Hook Chain Stopper
The Pelican Hook Chain Stopper is engineered so that its primary function is to secure the ship’s anchor at the hawse pipe. The chain can be disengaged from the stopper by manually deflecting the bail. To facilitate handling, additional handles can be added to the base of the hook should the customer desire. The chain stopper assembly consists of a shackle, chain connecting links, turnbuckle & pelican hook. Each component is forged from fine grain heat treated alloy steel, with a minimum tensile strength of 150,000 psi.
