Fiber Ropes

Synthetic Pulling Ropes in High-Voltage Line Construction

Key Application Areas

  • Pilot ropes for conductor stringing
  • Lightweight mid-pull and final-pull solutions
  • Auxiliary ropes for tower erection, guying, and crane support
  • Safer handling around energized environments (non-conductive)

Operational Advantages

  • High breaking strength with extremely low weight
  • Reduced conductor damage due to lower abrasion
  • Corrosion-free, minimal maintenance
  • Safer handling: no wire breaks, no snap-back risk
  • One-person operation possible, improved ergonomics

    Future-Relevant Technologies

    • Drones/UAVs: Pilot rope installation across short–mid spans, waypoint automation
    • Line Robotics: Adequate for inspection robots and live-line robot systems
    • Hybrid Rope Technology: Fiber-steel composites for high-load pulling
    • Smart Ropes: Integrated tension, temperature, and abrasion monitoring
    • Sustainability: Reusable, spliceable, recyclable materials
    • Advanced Heli Operations: Improved long-line efficiency with ultra-light ropes

    Value for Grid Operators

    • Faster project completion
    • Higher site safety
    • Reduced OPEX through reusability and lower maintenance
    • Future-proof for automated and digital construction workflows

    • Very good abrasion resistance
    • Spliceable

    BRAIDED HOLLOW ROPE WITH HF

    • High breaking load at small rope diameter
    • Highest strength
    • Lowest elongation (approx. 1.0 % at 20 % of breaking load)
    • Satisfying abrasion resistance
    • Very easy to splice (like pulling grip)

     

    BRAIDED HOLLOW ROPE WITH HF+

    • Particularly suitable for higher breaking loads at small rope diameters

    • Satisfying abrasion resistance
    • Very easy to splice (like pulling grip)

    HIGH TENSILE FIBERS MADE OF DYNEEMA® OR NOVOLEEN®

    Abbreviations: PES = polyester | PP = polypropylene | HF = high-tensile fibre | HF+ = extremely high-tensile fibre

    SYNTHETIC FIBER ROPE

    • Synthetic fiber rope, delivered in cardboard box

    Optional

    • Delivered on disposable reel or steel reel with Ø of 1100, 1400 or 1800 mm
