Guide Lines

Guide lines

Guide lines are used to keep the connection between the winch man and a vessel, to prevent a stretcher from spinning or as a useful tool in many other situations.

The built-in reflective stripes make your night operations safer & easier as the hole length of line becomes a glowing worm in the helicopters search light.

All guidelines come standard with a 3 kg weight bag, but you can choose almost any size. Attachment point at the upper end is an aluminum or stainless-steel twist lock karabiner in a 100 kg weak link.

Standard lengths are 30, 45 and 60 meters, but we can deliver any length to meet your standard. The line itself is 8, 10 or 12 mm double braided polyester, very flexible and almost kink-free.

Normally our lines are bright yellow, but upon request we are open for other possibilities. If you prefer black lines without reflex for special forces secret night operations, we can deliver that. If you want a bright red end indicator flag 5 m from the bottom, we can deliver that. Simply ask for what you do not see.

Guide line bag

Sea water is not healthy for helicopter electronics. Mrs. Bucket will take care of the problem that wet lines creates when retracted from the water, as the watertight vinyl bucket is easily closed with the rugged zipper. Normally Mrs. Bucket come in bright orange but can be made in other colors if you like.

Built-in static discharge

10 and 12 mm lines can be delivered with a built in copper wire for static discharge. The extra weight also makes the line less sensible to wind.
