Balltec LiftLOK™
Balltec LiftLOKTM tools provide a simple, robust, high capacity method for connecting and disconnecting heavy loads to and from lifting devices. As a purely mechanical device, containing no hydraulics (hydraulics are not required to ensure the integrity of the gripping mechanism but a hydraulic release is available on request) and requiring minimum ROV intervention, LiftLOKTM products are ideally suited for the deployment and retrieval of equipment to and from the ocean floor.
Features and benefits of LiftLOK
- Next-generation large ball design providing greater re-usability over a broader range of internal diameters
- Remote release collar option permitting radio-controlled release*
- Mechanical or hydraulic release for ROV operation*
- Lighter and more compact than all comparable products
- Fail-safe design means it cannot be released under load
- Larger clearances offering easier insertion and removal
- Lower parts count offering increased reliability
- Simple disconnect for re-usability*
- Bespoke tools designed for any unique application
* Zero-load condition only therefore no risk of accidental release
Amongst other applications, the LiftLOK™ has been used for:
- Mud mat deployment & retrieval
- Subsea decommissioning
- Buoy handling
- Pile handling
- STEV-tensioning systems
- Conductor installations
- Deployment of mooring systems
