[WHAT’S NEW]
WHAT’S NEW SAMSON INTRODUCES TS-II TURBO Samson, the worldwide leader in high-performance
synthetic rope, is pleased to introduce its new trawl warp line, TS-II Turbo. Developed to replace steel wire rope, TS-II Turbo reduces a trawler winch system’s weight by as much as 80%. TS-II Turbo’s lightweight construction is comprised of a fi rm non-collapsing Dyneema® fi ber cover with a non-load-bearing polyester control core. TS-II Turbo works exceptionally well on winch
drums and has been custom engineered for the rigorous demands of the commercial trawler by being both cut and abrasion resistant. The new lightweight rope, which comes in vibrant orange, is easy to handle, spliceable, and extremely durable. TS-II also fl oats, increasing the operator’s control of the net in shallow depths and achieving wider openings at the front end of the nets. All of this adds up to larger catch yield ratios. Proven through Samson’s rigorous testing and a two
year fi eld trial, TS-II Turbo reduced the overall weight of the winch system by approximately 80%, based on replacing 1" steel wire rope. This reduction in weight resulted in fuel savings and enabled the “hold” capacity to increase the catch volume. Samson’s Director of Sales America, Terry Crump,
explained, “We’re confi dent that TS-II Turbo will help pelagic trawl vessel operators improve safety by creating
greater vessel stability. We’re also pleased that this new trawl warp line, which is proudly manufactured in America, will make a signifi cant contribution towards lowering fuel costs, as well as improving the overall effi ciency of our customer’s operations.” Samson’s new TS-II Turbo trawl warp line is the new
wireless alternative that follows in the tradition set by the TS-II product off ering where its light weight construction and ease of use has proven to be benefi cial. For over 130 years, Samson has been recognized as
a worldwide leader in the development and manufacture of high-performance ropes. Among its many innovations, Samson invented the double braid and pioneered the fi rst high modulus polyethylene fi ber ropes. Today, Samson engineers continue to pioneer the use of new fi ber technology and the development of innovative coatings and constructions to produce ropes with unprecedented performance character- istics. Samson’s research and development team is meeting an ever expanding market need for products with exceptional performance in critical applications.

WHAT’S NEW SAFETY LATCHING LIFTING HOOK FOR PIPE
PEMCO of New Mexico is now manufacturing the Safety Latching Lifting Hook for Pipe (Patent Pending). The Lifting Hook for Pipe was designed to provide optimal safety when picking up and laying down pipe and tubing. The “Safety Hook” has a safety latching mechanism which is unique to lifting hooks. The latching mechanism is spring loaded, which allows the pipe to be loaded (hooked) into the pipe hook without having to press the trigger mechanism. After loading the pipe, the spring loaded latch rests against the inside stop of the hook, keeping the pipe securely within the pipe hook. The Safety Hook is designed for the pipe coupling to rest against the side of the hook. Pulling the trigger retracts the latch from its closed position to its open position, which allows the pipe to be released from the hook. The trigger guard protects the user’s hand and also acts as a slide guide when loading pipe into the hook. We are currently manufacturing three diff erent
sizes of the Safety Pipe Hook; the 2 3/8", 2 7/8" and 3 1/2" pipe hook for upset and non-upset pipe. A shorter handle version is available for use as a general safety pickup hook (i.e. to pickup tubing tongs, etc.). Additional sizes of the Safety Pipe Hook are available upon request. PEMCO of New Mexico, Inc. certifi es that the Latch-
ing Pipe Hook assembly has been tested to pick up and hold a maximum of 2,800 pounds. The certifi cation process included pull testing and maintaining 2,800 pounds of weight from the Latching Pipe Hook for 24 hours. Note: Each Latching Pipe Hook is designed to pickup
and to hold a specifi c size of pipe. Always use the correct size Latching Pipe Hook with the respective pipe size. When the pipe size changes, then the Latching Pipe Hook is to be changed to meet the specifi c size of the new pipe. To fi nd out more about PEMCO of New Mexico’s
Safety Latching Lifting Hook for Pipe, contact us at (575) 392-5553 or email us at
