All slings have the largest load capacity when used in the basket hitch. Capacity in the vertical hitch is 50% of that in the basket hitch. Capacity in the choker hitch of single leg slings is a maximum of 80% of the vertical rated load. EFFECT OF ANGLE INCREASES Sling angle is the angle measured between a horizontal line and the sling leg or body. The angle is very important and can have a dramatic effect on the rated capacity of the sling – when this angle decreases, the load on each leg increases. This principle applies whether in a basket hitch or for multi-legged bridle slings. When possible, the sling angle should be more than 45o. At any sling angle under 30o a spreader beam should be used. To determine the slings reduced rating according to a specific sling angle, multiply the sling rating by the appropriate loss factor. source: New & Improved CertTracker Asset Management CertTracker is new and improved.

ROPE The rope inventory consists of sizes from ¼” to 2 ½” construction material is PE, PP and the Dyneema high strength synthetics in a large variety of sizes and colors. Polysteel Float and Sink Rope– This versatile rope is 35% stronger than Polypropylene Rope and low stretch. It floats and is a great general use rope. It is also the strongest synthetic rope in its class due to its extremely tight tolerance and fiber extrusion. This rope offers great consistency and quality. Polysteel Crab/Lobster Floating Rope- Our crab/lobster floating rope is 2 times stronger than regular Polypropylene Rope and easy to grip for haulers. With added Sun Block, the lifetime of the rope is extended beyond others. The rope has less elongation and because of this will pick up less water, keeping it lighter and preventing deterioration from the salt in the oceans water. Over time it develops a feathered surface to prevent abrasions and avoid hardening. Polysteel Crab/Lobster Sinking Rope- This rope is the perfect substitute for sinking lead lines. It has twice the strength of regular Polypropylene Rope, and has an inner core of Polysteel filaments that are covered with high tenacity polyester. The rope is both UV and abrasion resistant to lengthen its lifetime and to assure you that the rope will not fail. The UV and abrasion resistance also helps haulers get an easier grip on the rope and gives it a silent run. Poly Dacron Rope- Poly Dacron rope has a unique mixture of being strong and lightweight. Dacron provides the rope with strength while the Polypropylene core keeps it light. The rope is very versatile and is great for commercial fishing, mooring, and towing. The rope is also water resistant and will dry quickly. Some of our Poly Dacron rope is imported from Portugal, one of the top rope manufacturers in the world. Duraflex Rope- Designed for the unique conditions that North Atlantic fishermen face, Duraflex ropes were created for you. The rope is strong but remains flexible during working conditions, no matter how extreme. The rope is abrasion resistant and will work just as hard as you do. Dyneema Blue rope "stronger than steel" AmSteel Blue is a torque-free 12-strand single braid that yields the maximum in strength-to-weight ratio and, size-for-size, is the same strength as steel.
