Longlines
Barry dressed longlines combine the best components into a complete wired and protected longline. Bare longlines, custom lengths, color coding, and other accessories are also available.
- 12-strand, rotation-resistant rope made from lightweight UHMWPE (ultra high molecular weight polyethylene) fiber replaces unwieldy wire cable.
- Extremely light compared to steel cable
- Polyurethane coated for UV and abrasion resistance
- Cycled to reduce in-use elongation
- Breaking strength is seven times the rated working load limit (WLL).
- Complies with DOI Aviation Management Section C-Exhibit: Helicopter Synthetic Longline Requirements.
- Comes with log book, ID Tag, Certificate of Compliance & Inspection Guideline Document, and transport bag with documentation pocket.
D.E.W. Longlines
D.E.W. (Dielectric Even Wet) are an advanced helicopter longline product designed specifically for external load missions where negligible electrical conductivity is required. The ultra high-strength loadbearing synthetic rope is completely encapsulated in a proprietary thermoplastic extrusion resulting in a longline that is dielectric even in humid conditions.
- ASTM F1701-12—Passes all dry and wet electrical tests.
- Sealed Construction—Keeps moisture and dust out
- Wear Indicator—Integrated wear indicator changes color so you know when repairs are needed.
- Minimum 7:1 Safety Factor—Breaking strength is seven times the rated working load limit (WLL).
- Convenient Transport Bag—Includes a transport bag with a documentation pocket.
- Easy Maintenance Tracking—Comes with log sheet, ID Tag, certificate of compliance, and user manual.
- Also Available: Custom line lengths, longline jackets, electrical wire, and connectors.
Cargo Nets
Multiple material options and choice of size and shape allow you to select the right net for your mission. Square and octagonal nets are readily available in 12 ft.x12 ft., 16 ft.x16 ft., or 20 ft.x20 ft. sizes; other sizes are also available.
- Made from knotless nylon
- UHMWPE (ultra high molecular weight polyethylene) fiber border rope and extension lanyards at each corners
- Reinforced center for durability and visibility
- Polyurethane coated for UV & abrasion resistance
- Cycled to reduce in-use elongation
- Minimum 7:1 Safety Factor—Breaking strength is seven times the rated working load limit (WLL).
- Comes with log book, ID tag, Certificate of Compliance & Inspection Guideline Document, and transport bag with documentation pocket.
- Also available: Heavy-duty nets, other net sizes, configurations, and carry capacities.
