Tow rope protectors are available in 1, 2 & 3 meters lengths. Towing Shoes are produced in halves for easy fitting once the tow rope is in place. Towing Sleeves are produced as a one-piece moulded product and are fitted by threading the rope through the Sleeve before any splicing takes place.
V-Thane Polyurethane Rope Protectors have been specially designed to give maximum protection to the towing rope or towing wire by preventing abrasion and chafe against bulwark rails, towing rails and fairleads. The flexibility and resistance to wear ensure an economical service life of the protector. The likelihood of premature parting of rope is greatly reduced with V-thane rope protectors, which are basically designed for use with ropes operating from towing winches.
V-Thane Towing Sleeves
V-Thane Towing Sleeves which are made in a one-piece construction can be supplied square-ended or with one end tapered for easier fitting/movement over baulks and rails. This form of rope protector is normally fitted by feeding the rope through the protector.
V-Thane Towing Sleeves come in 4 sizes, Standard Duty (RS designation), Heavy Duty (SHD designation), Extra Heavy Duty (EHD designation) and Extra Heavy Duty Plus (EHD+ designation)
V-Thane Towing Shoes
The V-Thane Towing Shoes are made in two halves and clamped onto the rope with eight high tensile bolts, making shoe style protectors easy to fit to any style of rope. The patented design ensures there is no protruding hardware.
