Sterling Lightning GT Hook
Sterling changed fire escape operations with the introduction of their FireTech escape rope. They then simplified and revolutionized bailouts with the addition of our F4™ descent control device. Their innovative, simple and certified line of hooks completes the system.
Lightning and Lightning GT Hooks
Weighing less than 8 ounces, the aluminum Lightning Hooks offer a functional design with either a hitching slot or innovative wire gate for secure and rapid remote anchoring. The design of the Lightning Hooks helps take the guesswork out of the most fundamental step of the creating a fail-safe anchor. Made of 7000 series, aircraft grade aluminum and CNC machined to Sterling's exacting specifications, the Lightning Hooks are certified to hold loads up to 3000 pounds at the tip. When combined with one of their descenders—either the venerable F4 or our new FCX—and any one of their Fire Escape ropes, the Lightning GT creates a versatile, exceptionally easy to use system for rapid egress.

Crosby Hook
The original portable anchor hook designed for the FDNY PSS. This forged alloy steel hook facilitates anchoring at the window or point of egress. A high strength rating ensures the hook will not deform even when fully loaded at the tip, or when exposed to extreme heat. The geometry of the Crosby hook offers the most security for placement on any surface.
