A Liferaft Lashing Belt with Pelikan Hook is a specialized securing strap designed to hold a liferaft container firmly on its cradle, ensuring the raft remains stable and protected in various marine conditions. Equipped with a Pelikan (pelican) hook, it allows for swift, one-handed release when deploying the liferaft in an emergency. Constructed from strong, weather-resistant materials like polyester webbing and stainless-steel fittings, this lashing belt provides reliable performance, even under harsh, salty, or high-vibration environments.
