Quick and easy towing and mooring connection makes its debut
Maritime and offshore synthetic fibre and steel wire rope manufacturer
Lankhorst Ropes has introduced Lankoloop, described as the world’s quickest and easiest towing and mooring connection. Lankhorst’s Lankoloop connection uses a simple knot and eye connection to ‘complete the connection in seconds’ and can be repeatedly opened and close if needed. Feeding it through any smooth strongpoint completes the connection. A feature of Lankoloop is that no other hardware is required with the connection replacing a conventional cow hitch or shackle.
The manufacturer states that ease of handling and the ability to connect lines safely and quickly are ‘vital’ in many towing situations, particularly in adverse weather conditions and that simplifying the connection to a single openable eye ensures ‘a safer operation without compromising on the strength of the complete line configuration.’
Wilco Stroet, Lankhorst ropes managing director said: ‘For both towing and mooring, the Lankoloop is a breakthrough in terms of safety and ease of connection without the need to handle heavy shackles, allowing single person towing and mooring connections. Lankoloop is an important development for the maritime industry that makes soft line rope connections quicker and easier to complete.’
