- Low-Profile Design:Clean, streamlined shape compliments the aesthetic lines of the aircraft and provides an optimized aerodynamic profile.
- Improved Ground Clearance:Offers additional clearance from the lowest hanging point of the cargo hook, which is important for operations in remote field locations where prepared landing pads are few and far between.
- Easy to Remove:The cargo hook system attaches to the airframe using four pins, making it quick and easy to remove and reinstall, based on your mission requirements.
- Airframe & Hook Protection:Built-in travel limits keep the hook from striking the airframe and relieve strain on the hook control cables.
- Gimbaled Frame:The cargo hook support crossbeam is gimbaled on both sides to help accomodate any twisting stresses within the frame as the airframe flexes under load.
- Automatic Jettison system:In an emergency situation, the cargo hook will immediately open, releasing the load to help maintain aircraft balance.
- Onboard Weighing System Option:Know the exact weight of your load! Our pin load cell replaces the attach bolt, eliminating extra linkage.
- TALON® LC Hydraulic Hook:Our hydraulic hook greatly increases load security by using a hydraulically activated release mechanism instead of a traditional manual release cable.
