The system offers full payload to any depth and provides owners and operators a level of performance not seen with current cranes.
Fiber and rope terminations are being adopted across numerous industries and in many cases are subject to extreme fatigue situations such as surface mining drag lines in rope sizes up to 1500MT strength.
