NOV’s subsidiary GustoMSC has introduced the Quick Connector, a new technology designed to enhance the safety and efficiency of offshore lifting operations. The Quick Connector is a secure and reliable connection between the crane’s lower block and the tools underneath, allowing for swift connection and disconnection of components. This minimizes downtime, reduces labor costs, and improves overall project efficiency. The remotely operated Quick Connector also improves operational safety by eliminating the need for on-deck personnel to make the sling connection between the hook and tool during each tool change-out. The integrated lower block design removes the need for rigging and enables a higher lifting height. The Quick Connector is designed to optimize offshore heavy lift operations, reduce downtime, and minimize operational risks. According to Gerben Roks, Sales Director, Heavy Lift, NOV, the Quick Connector is a cutting-edge tool that streamlines and automates the tool connection/disconnection process, enhancing safety and efficiency while reducing costs.
