Throughout the company's history, more than 8,500 commercial and naval vessels around the world have been outfitted with Peck & Hale equipment. The primary equipment supplied included vehicle tiedowns and lashings, ammu- nition shoring nets, aircraft securing fittings and safety nets.

During the confrontation in the Persian Gulf

Peck & Hale was asked to respond to the special requirements of the confrontation and outfitted many ships in a matter of days. Peck & Hale was also asked to supply equipment that was desper- ately needed for three ships which were to be deployed to the Mid-East. The company's expe- dient response to this emergency has resulted in the presentation of the Desert Storm apprecia- tion plaque.
