New identification system
|
|
Our newest improvement is the identification of our ropes. For many years we have been applying a tracer with an unique code inside our ropes. Now this unique serial no. is also clearly visible in the neck of each eye. This serial number is corresponding with the numbers on the certificates. This will guarantee a one to one match, easy control of your mooring hawsers and quicker approval from the vetting inspector. This new identification system complies fully with the OCIMF recommendations. We have started this new identification system in the last couple of months. The products with the ID will find its way to the market through the distribution channels in the course of the year.

New Protection Sleeve
|
Lankhorst | Ropes has developed the “DEFENDER”. This is a robust protection sleeve that can be fixed on areas where the ropes will suffer the most due to external abrasion. This braided additional sleeve will increase the life time of your ropes. The “DEFENDER” can be made from different fibres, such as Euroneema, Tipto and Polyester. Due to the construction, one can slide it over the rope, for easy positioning.

In the spotlight: Tipto Winchline
This high performance winch line has excellent properties. It is floating, has a high strength / diameter ratio, a high fatigue resistance value and is made with a braided cover which, in case of break, reduces the snap back effect. Especially in arctic conditions, the fact that TiptoWinchline has a 0% water absorption is very much appreciated.
