WHAT’S NEW BRIDON LAUNCHES REVOLUTIONARY BRISTAR TIGER BLUE
Bridon, a global technology leader in the manufacture of wire and fibre rope for the world’s most demanding applications and the market leader in shovel hoist ropes, has launched a revolutionary rope for electric shovels operating in surface mines globally. Bristar Tiger Blue has been developed and produced by Bridon in response to increased demand for hoist ropes with extended service life, which raises productivity and lowers mines’ total operating costs.
Bristar Tiger Blue was designed and developed at BTC, and the new shovel rope features the Bristar core. The revolutionary core features flutes designed to maintain a uniform gap between the outer rope strands, hold strand positioning, promote equal load sharing, improve strand to strand wear, and increase fatigue life. Bristar was field proven in varying mining conditions stretching throughout North America and South America at coal, copper, iron ore, gold mines, and the oil sands in Canada. Compared to a plastic jacketed rope as a baseline, Bristar improved average service life can be more than 50 percent.
Bristar Tiger Blue will be manufactured by Bridon American, and it will be marketed and sold globally to the Surface Mining Sector. Bristar joins the other trusted Tiger Brand of surface mining ropes which includes Tiger Blue, Tiger Big T, and Duracore. For more information, visit

WHAT’S NEW CROSBY ENHANCES THEIR IPU10 CLAMP LINE AND IPSC10 SCREW CLAMP
Crosby is pleased to announce they have enhanced their IPU10 vertical lifting clamp product line with the IPU10A series of clamps. This “automatic closing” clamp allows the user to properly attach the clamp to the top edge of steel in hard to reach applications, eliminating the need
for ladders or other potentially unsafe devices. When the material is engaged fully into the top of the jaw, the clamp will automatically close and lock allowing the material to be moved. When the material is landed, the clamp can be locked open in the normal way allowing it to be removed and ready for the next lift.
