APPLICATIONS:
Mainlines & Pendants
Cortland has supplied the highest quality lines to tugs and other hard-working vessels all over the world for ship assist, towing, and escort jobs for decades.
Mooring Lines
We can produce heavy duty Marine, US CG, USN, and industrial mooring lines to order, based upon your strengths requirements the length of line required and the expected loads.
Face Lines & Wing Lines
Wing and face lines used in push boat applications custom engineered for the horsepower in specific makeup that your vessel requires
Blade Handling Lines
Soft to the touch and ultra flexible, Cortland slings minimize the potential for surface damage when components are lifted, which is critical during blade handling and installation.
Wear Protection
For additional defense from cutting an abrasion, we offer several protection options to increase the service life of your lines and ensure a safer operation.
Mooring Line System
Durably constructed, are easy to deploy oceanographic mooring lines eliminate connecting hardware so they last longer, or more reliable and require less maintenance.
Buoy Mooring Lines
Our custom buoy mooring lines are designed and constructed to stay in position in harsh marine environments.
Enhancements
Specialized wear protection solutions project wear points from abrasion, cutting and heat damage to increase the ropes service life.
Cargo Extraction Harnesses
Light weight lifting harnesses which allow equipment to be lifted by helicopter from field locations.
Emergency Tow Systems
Elements for a quick response to tow and recovery inside a heavy-duty weatherproof container. We offer two standard sizes or custom-built solutions.
PBO
More than 2x stronger than any other commercialized synthetic fiber, Zylon® PBO is often used in the most demanding applications.
MIL-Spec
We provide for fiber constructions that made MIL Dash spec requirements, including nylon double braid, polyester 12 plait, polyester double braid and spun polyester double braid.
Performance Fibers
High-performance synthetic rope solutions not only equal the strength and durability of steel wire, they also allow for reduced weight, space savings, and safer, easier handling.
MEAT Slings
Lifting solutions built with lightweight, high specific strength rope that fit weight requirements; yet flexible to be stored in a small space.
Synthetic Coring Ropes
Our synthetic ropes reduce weight, improve speed, and boost overall vessel operational efficiency of coring operations compared to steel wired rope.
Tow & Recovery Cables
Recovering a disabled vehicle can be a difficult and hazardous process, but synthetic, braided rope recovery and tow lines offer a higher level of safety and ease.
Lifting Slings
High-performance rope and round lifting slings are excellent lightweight tools and a safe alternative to traditional wire rope slings.
Haul Truck Body Cables
The jacketed Cortland synthetic haul truck tie-back cables are designed and built specifically to safely keep a truck bed open during maintenance.
Tow Lines
The jacketed Cortland synthetic haul truck tie-back cables are designed and built specifically to safely keep a truck bed open during maintenance.
Cable Grips
Prevent cable and rope damage. our cable grips are used to grip many types of cables and ropes with multiple surface materials - from large hydraulic umbilicals to small fiber optic cables.
Winch Lines
Made from Plasma® or BOB®, our winch lines are easier to handle, quicker to rig, and safer to use. They offer superior flexibility and are easy to inspect, and will not rust or corrode.
Winch Lines
Cortland's Plasma and GTM which lines spoiled evenly and pull off the drum easier than steel. Strong, safe and reliable every time.
Winch Lines
On the booms of utility trucks nationwide, synthetic rope has largely displaced wire cable; offering greater safety, light weight benefits, and reduced wear and tear on winch motors.
Tugger Winch Ropes
Neutrally buoyant, high-performance fiber rope weighs virtually nothing in water, so regardless of the length of rope used, it does not add anything to the load experienced by the winch.
Digger Derrick Winch Lines
A wide range of winch lines for pulling overhead powerlines and setting poles and transformers. Our synthetic lines are safer, lighter and easier to handle than steel.
Messenger Lines
High-performance synthetic messenger lines can me property tensioned to resist the expected loading while keeping sag between support safe and within acceptable limits.
Shakedown Lines
Similar effect to braided hair fairings, we offer an extruded "shakedown" jacket which addresses the adverse effects of strumming/vibration and reduces cable noise and drag.
Braided Rope Lifting Slings
Our UHMWPE rope lifting slings size-for-size have equal strength to steal, eliminating the need for new hardware. Multi-leg configurations are also available.
Deepwater Deployment & Recovery
Cortlandt's fiber rope solutions have been demonstrating superior performance for lifting operations in deep and ultra-deep waters since 2006.
Offshore Lifting Lines
Our engineering team can assist or lead discussions in designing the most appropriate lifting sling solution for superior reliability, durability, and safety.
Stringing Lines
Lightweight and high strength high-performance Cortland lines can be used on existing equipment for heavier pulls, or downsize the line to pull the same load and store longer lenghts on the reel.
Pulling Lines
Our plasma and spectra lines are high strength, abrasion-resistant, low stretch, easy to splice, tongue free for no twisting, and stay round and firm around blocks and sheaves. Different color coatings are available for easy identification.
Sea Fastening Straps
Engineered rope solutions for safely securing cargo during offshore transportation, even in the most extreme sea conditions.
High-Performance Aerial Rigging
We offer extensive experience and capability for developing and producing rigging for aerial operations that meet stringent performance requirements.
Technora®
high strength lightweight Technora fiber. The 12 strand braided construction is torque-free and easy to splice. Technora 12 is extremely heat and flex fatigue resistant.
Vectran®
Vectran fiber is the best choice when an application requires zero creep resistance. The high strength fiber has excellent bend and flex fatigue resistance.
BOB®
Braid optimized for bending (BOB) is the best solution for high bending fatigue applications, making it a very popular choice for winch lines.
Plasma®
The highest strength synthetic rope available, Plasma® also has the highest abrasion resistance of any fiber and very low elasticity.
Polyester
Polyester has the best weathering characteristics and excellent wet strength. Choose from Polyester double braid or Polyester/Vectran double braid.
