Already the United States agent for the Cranston Eagle line of marine off-load hooks, Delta "T" Systems is expanding its territory to now include all of Latin America. In conjunction with its engineering-based sister company, DPSS, Inc., Delta "T" Systems provides sales, service, testing and recertification services for Eagle Products Ky, the Finland-based hook manufacturer.
"This new level of support should make it easier for Cranston Eagle customers in Central and South America to keep their products fully maintained and certified," said Delta "T" president Lynn Oien. "Having another location for these customers to send hooks to in addition to the Cranston Eagle factory in Finland should help reduce shipping costs and long lead times."
Known around the world for its dependable off-load fast rescue boat release hooks, Eagle Products Ky of Finland already holds a strong position in US military, commercial and pleasure boat markets. Their full line of davit mounted, deck mounted and US Coast Guard certified hooks are used extensively by Canadian and US Navies, Coast Guards, research vessels and offshore platforms. Due to their simple yet reliable design and a stellar safety record, Cranston Eagle off-load hooks are increasingly being used for applications other than fast rescue craft launch and recovery.
It has become more common to find them used on small- and medium-sized marine cranes and also on offshore platforms and vessels for launch and recovery of equipment, such as hyperbaric chambers.
Delta "T" Systems is responsible for new product sales, replacement parts and upgrades, as well as testing and recertification of all Eagle Products off-load marine hooks. Delta "T" Systems' new load testing equipment, designed and built by DPSS, is capable of pull testing marine hooks and other lifting appliances to loads of up to 50 metric tons.
