The Docking Probe has a positive spring return latching system ensuring latching fingers retract and release once hydraulic pressure is relieved from the system.

The Docking Probe (HD) has a shear pin that is set to 8000kg – more than capable of withstanding the full thrust load of all work class ROVs.

The latch fingers pivot on shear pins and pull the latch hard into the docking receptacle. An internal spring enables the latches to return to their closed position on loss of hydraulics.

• Spring assisted retract
• Shear pin set to 8000kg
