Synthetic Fibre Ropes

Steel-equivalent strength at a fraction of the weight

About Crane Ropes

Lankhorst Ropes manufactures high-performance synthetic fibre ropes using ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) and other advanced fibres. These ropes deliver steel-equivalent breaking strengths at a fraction of the weight, making them the preferred choice for deepwater mooring, offshore towing, and heavy-lift operations where handling weight is a critical constraint.

Synthetic fibre ropes eliminate the corrosion, fatigue, and weight penalties associated with steel wire ropes in marine environments. Their high strength-to-weight ratio reduces deck equipment requirements and improves crew safety during deployment and recovery operations.

All Lankhorst synthetic ropes are engineered and tested to recognized offshore standards and are supported by in-house splicing, inspection, and recertification services worldwide.

Festmachersysteme

Festmachen im Tiefwasser

Dank Tiefsee-Anlegestellen bleiben FPSOs, Halbtauchboote und Offshore-Plattformen auch bei Wassertiefen von über 2.000 Metern am Laufen. Lankhorst Ropes von WireCo liefert permanente und semipermanente Festmacherleinen aus UHMWPE-Fasern, die bei einem Bruchteil des Gewichts eine Stahlfestigkeit bieten.

Trockene Ladung

Trockengüterschiffe benötigen Anlegesysteme, die Schiffe beim Be- und Entladen bei allen Wetterbedingungen sicher an der Seite halten. Lankhorst Ropes von WireCo bietet Festmacherleinen aus Kunstfaser, die herkömmlichen Stahldrähten in Bezug auf das Verhältnis von Festigkeit zu Gewicht, Handlingsicherheit und Lebensdauer überlegen sind.
