Our NK19000 is an insulating rope tool which may serve as an FRP tool replacement during temporary installations in energized fields and high voltage systems (AC or DC).
It can also be used as an insulated link for crane operations.
Yes, we have conducted several lab and field tests with linemen using the Barry D.E.W line dielectric work ropes on sheaves, pulleys, capstans, descent devices and rope grabs. Under normal use, these mechanical tools did not affect the insulative performance of the lines tested.
Please contact us if you have any questions about a specific application for these products.
Our tag lines are offered in standard lengths of 10’ and 12’.
Other lengths are available upon request, please contact us for more information.
