LANKHORST ROPES
Strategic partnership and cooperations
For the U.S. market, Precision Tension
Solutions in Houston and high performance
fiber rope manufacturer Lankhorst
Ropes, a WireCo WorldGroup
company, have announced a strategic
partnership, providing a combination
of support services with synthetic
ropes to shippers on America’s Inland
Waterways. Services offered under the
agreement include rope training (splicing)
and inspections. To ensure vessel
operators maximize rope service life
and crew safety, PTS and Lankhorst intend
to offer assistance with product selection,
including customized synthetic
rope solutions; once installed, rope performance
monitoring enables continuous
improvement in rope operations. In
addition, Lankhorst has announced an
exclusive cooperation agreement with
Singapore-based Franklin Offshore International
Pte. Ltd. The cooperation is
aimed at developing the market for fibre
rope slings for heavy lift offshore projects
in South East Asia. »As offshore
contractors look for ways to maximise
their vessel’s crane lift capacity, Lankhorst
fibre rope slings can be a more
practical and cost-effective alternative
to steel wire ropes«, it was said.
Lankhorst Ropes’ Lanko®force range
of ropes produce slings with a minimum
breaking load (MBL) of around 2,000 t
in single leg configuration and 3,200 t
in a grommet configuration. Lankoforce
HL slings are available in two configurations,
eye-and-eye (E&E) and endless
loop (grommet).
