Enstrom Selects Onboard Systems Cargo Hook For 480B Aircraft

Keeperless Hook Offers Greater Safety

Helicopter cargo hook equipment provider Onboard Systems told ANN this week Enstrom Helicopters has selected the TALON LC Keeperless Cargo Hook for factory installation on its 480B aircraft.

Onboard says its keeperless hook is designed to release at 2.5 times the rated load. In an emergency situation -- such as a longline snag -- this important feature gives pilots a significant margin of safety in which to release the cargo load. In addition, the keeperless hook can safely use a wide variety of load ring sizes and styles, offering maximum flexibility for operators.

Keepered hooks require use of very specific ring sizes and styles in order to prevent the possibility of losing a load that could slide past the keeper.

"We were impressed with the high-quality and safety features of the Onboard cargo hook," said Tracy Biegler, Director of Sales & Marketing at Enstrom. "The quality of the product and quick turnaround time hooks and spares that Onboard features matches the goals that Enstrom sets for itself. We are very pleased to be able to offer this hook as another great option on our line of helicopters."

"We are delighted that our TALON cargo hook is now available to Enstrom customers," said Jason Lemmon, President and General Manager of Onboard Systems. "We have been working with Enstrom since early 2006 on this project, and we look forward to the opportunity to give more operators access to the safest, most technologically innovative cargo hook equipment available today."
