Building & Vehicle Hook & Line Kit

The Comprehensive Hook & Line Kit brings together full building and vehicle capability in a single, field‑proven system. With twin colour‑coded Kevlar reels, a wide range of hooks, clamps, slings, stakes, suction pads and specialist tools, it gives EOD and high‑risk search teams everything needed to move, open and manipulate suspect items from safe stand‑off.

Combining the functional capability of NIC’s 2nd and 4th generation hook and line kits, this all‑in‑one set is designed for complex procedures in urban environments, vehicles and structures. It is supplied in a rigid transport case with custom foam insert, making it easy to deploy, inventory and transport as a single mission‑ready asset.

Key benefits

• Complete hook & line capability: Includes tools to anchor, route and apply forces to suspect devices, doors and other objects in both buildings and vehicles, reducing the need for multiple separate kits.
• Twin Kevlar reels with 500 kg SWL line: Two colour‑coded 5.5 mm Kevlar core reels (white and black) provide up to 120 m of low‑stretch line each, supporting complex two‑line pulls and mechanical advantage systems with a safe working load of 500 kg.
• Versatile anchoring and rigging options: Rope and wire slings, pitons, screw eyes, suction pads and sticky eyes allow reliable anchor points on rock, masonry, timber, glass, metal and painted surfaces.
• Enhanced control and mechanical advantage: Single and automatic‑opening snatch blocks, pulleys with jammer cleats and rope eyes support controlled change of direction, locking, and multi‑pulley systems to reduce operator effort and increase precision.
• Urban and vehicle‑ready tooling: Clamps, grips, telescopic pole tools, wedges and gangway brace make it easier to work through doors, windows, corridors and stairwells while keeping operators behind cover.
• Organised and rugged transport: A tough, gasket‑sealed case with foam cut‑outs and lid pouches keeps everything protected, accessible and simple to inventory before and after tasking.

Typical applications

• Remote movement, manipulation and repositioning of suspect packages and devices in buildings, vehicles and open areas.
• Routing lines through doorways, windows, stairwells and around obstacles in complex urban terrain.
• Establishing secure anchor points on structures, street furniture, vehicles or natural features for hook and line tasks.
• Supporting VBIED and high‑risk vehicle search procedures where stand‑off and precise control are critical.
• Complementing other NIC Alpha and Sigma hook and line kits as a core building and vehicle toolset.

What’s in the Comprehensive Hook & Line Kit

The kit is organised into tool categories including rope systems, rope tools, slings, suction/adhesive pads, hook systems, clamps and grips, stakes, miscellaneous tools, vehicle and building tools, search tools and storage & transport systems. Key components include:

• Rope systems: White and black Kevlar core reels (approx. 120 m each) with 5.5 mm low‑stretch rope, brake and clutch mechanisms, and snap hooks for primary pulling applications.
• Rope tools & pulleys: Pulling handle, single snatch blocks, automatic‑opening snatch blocks, pulley with jammer cleat and rope eye for additional pulling points and change of direction.
• Slings: Rope and wire slings in multiple diameters, plus a tightening belt sling for gripping devices from approximately 0.1 m to 0.7 m in diameter.
• Suction and adhesive anchors: Double suction pad with anchor point and multiple sticky eyes for fast, strong anchors on flat, non‑porous surfaces such as glass and painted metal.
• Hook systems: Small, medium and large plain hooks (single and double), triple‑barbed hooks, spring‑gate hooks and 25 mm eyes for attaching line to devices and fixtures.
• Clamps & grips: Sliding bar clamp system, self‑grip pliers, self‑grip forceps, cantilever clamps and lightweight spring grips for attaching to a wide variety of shapes and surfaces.
• Stakes & pitons: Spearpoint and chisel pitons (small and large) for creating anchor points in rock, masonry and other hard materials.
• Door & access tools: Door wedges and “wedge‑it” style doorstops to hold doors open, plus a gangway brace for bridging door and window frames with integral attachment eyes.
• Telescopic pole & mounts: Telescopic pole extending to approximately 3 m with mounts for spring‑gate hooks and triple‑barbed hooks, allowing remote application of hooks from stand‑off.
• Device handling & search: IEDD skid pan (sledge) for dragging devices over rough ground, pocket multi‑tool, and an illuminated pocket search mirror for close visual inspection.
• Storage & documentation: Rigid transport case with foam insert and lid pouches, plus a printed instruction manual (PDF available from the manufacturer).
