Abstract

This invention is for a remotely controlled release hook. The operator of the release hook is at a safe distance away from the release hook and therefore away from a dangerous and hazardous area. The operator need not travel, in hazardous conditions, to the release hook to operate the release hook. Also, the operator need not be near the release hook to release the hook and therefore is away from a dangerous area or position. The release hook is radio controlled and comprises a transmitter and a receiver.
