investment in time and energy needed to create these guidelines. With safety as one of our core values and the driving force behind many of our synthetic rope innovations, we are glad to have these new guidelines to advance safe and proper synthetic rope usage. As the construction industry continues to evolve and seek out more effective and efficient ways to build, Samson strives to provide innovation in rope technology that is proven to increase safety without sacrificing performance, while also lowering total cost of ownership. With a heritage of almost 140 years of rope


development, and as the first to introduce a synthetic rope specifically for mobile cranes (K-100™), Samson was delighted to be part of this two-year development. Working in conjunction with other rope suppliers and crane manufacturers, Samson couldn’t be more pleased with the resulting document, which can be found at: http://www.fem-eur.com/ new-guidance-on-mobile-cranes/. Said Michelle Jarvis, Marketing Strategy Manager for Industrial Markets at Samson:


“Our participation in this committee, along with other similar industry association efforts globally, demonstrates our commitment to this market. We believe our products offer improved working conditions and a safer operating environment for construction industry employees; this, coupled with the ability to recognize lower total cost of ownership for the operator and owner, is what drives Samson to continue to invest and innovate in this market.” K-100 — The First Synthetic Hoist Line


for Mobile Cranes – a lightweight alternative to traditional steel-wire rope is 80% lighter, making handling, reeving, and installation much easier. At the same time, it provides the same line pull and load chart as wire, and can be used with a 5:1 safety factor. Because K-100 does not rust, it requires no lubing, and its unique construction eliminates kinking, birdcaging, and damage caused by diving on the winch drum. No wonder it’s a growing favorite among crane operators. For more information, visit www.samsonrope. com/pages/cranes.aspx. y
