AMPM Posted April 17, 2015 Report Share Posted April 17, 2015 I'm looking to buy new synthetic long lines and am looking for feedback as to which supplier/manufacturer is the most popular Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skullcap Posted April 17, 2015 Report Share Posted April 17, 2015 You may get a better response if you put down which ones you are thinking of purchasing and folks could then provide pros and cons for each. Otherwise it sounds like you are trolling or looking for someone else to do your research. You can always just buy a roll of the stuff and make your own, as from what I understand it is all amsteel blue and put together by various suppliers and some think they have invented the wheel.

AMPM Posted April 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2015 The only ones that I am aware of now are Dart as I'm fed up with Emergco. I need 3 conductor wiring (preferably spiral wound so that the wires don't break) and am seriously looking at getting the new ones with a cover.

skullcap Posted April 17, 2015 Report Share Posted April 17, 2015 Onboard I believe sells the same ones as dart(Barry lines) Donaldson ropes sells it too I think. spiral lines are a bit of overkill. Don't have any and have never had issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jtab234 Posted April 20, 2015 Report Share Posted April 20, 2015 I highly recommend Helinets. Vancouver company, with many years of making long lines. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old Posted April 20, 2015 Report Share Posted April 20, 2015 Helinets is by far the best and will custom fab anything you need. Can be prestretched. Comes with a logbook and certified. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cpt Biggles Posted April 21, 2015 Report Share Posted April 21, 2015 Barry is a good supplier also. With ongoing approved NDT testing for Class D stuff and also Dielctric lines for Class D, if you get into that work. We use them all the time. I would agree with you, and not recommend Emergco. As you say, Skullcap, some think they have a new wheel.... ultimately it is just a piece of fancy string. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AHUTCH Posted April 22, 2015 Report Share Posted April 22, 2015 I would recommend Barry long lines, have been using them for over a decade. I know companies like Columbia helicopters use Barry products. They have customizable synthetic, steel and dielectric long lines, cargo-nets and most anything you need, all certified. www.barry.ca/helicopter OnBoard systems sells their gear.
