Custom fabrication solutions often have a single purpose, especially when an installation has no second chances. Splicing arborist ropes is a fun and useful skill which allows you to make your own custom tree slings, eye splices, prusiks, and more.To overcome these issues, Cortland has designed deployment systems that release the tether in a systematic way so that a Remote Operated Vehicle (ROV) can meet and maneuver the tether as it deploys, and guides it into position.

Our optional urethane coating penetrates the fibers providing additional UV. 12 strand single braids provide easy in the field splicing for greater reduction of downtime and has a melting point between 489-500 F with a loss of strength between 244-250 F.

Subsea tether deployments are both dangerous and expensive when divers are needed. The quality of construction provides a torque-free rope, eliminating kinks and hockles.

Using the same high-tenacity fiber we use in our value-packed Portland Braid, this polyester single braid offers a single-end-per-carrier construction, which keeps the rope from flattening out in service and self centers in sheaves beautifully.

Special blended synthetic fiber ropes developed specifically to overcome fatigue issues that arise when deploying heavy loads into extreme water depths. PE-12 has been re-engineered, boosting its strengths significantly.

It not only enables easier deployment and reduces crew and vessel requirements, but also lasts longer, is more reliable, and requires less maintenance. The key to using this simple splice is to make sure that you use a lock stitch. An eye is formed into the rope and the tail is buried into the standing part. This is a simple, all-purpose eye retains 90-100 of average new rope strength. This compact system is more than 5 times smaller and completely self-contained, including the anchor, and can be deployed by a small vessel. A simplier eye splice is the Samson 12-strand Class II eye splice.

The first Easy-To-Deploy (ETD) mooring system.

Some of these custom-engineered solutions include: Splice terminations are used in all our ropes to determine new and unused tensile strengths.

Knots can significantly decrease a ropes strength while, in most cases, splicing maintains 100 of the specified rope strength. We continue to make breakthroughs in design, materials, and manufacturing, helping our customers excel in their industries. Samson recommends splicing as the preferred rope termination method. Our engineers are constantly evolving products to meet critical safety, strength, and durability requirements.
