Helicopter Recovery System
Helicopter Recovery Pendant
The pendant is made from double braid, torque free, synthetic rope. A rigid plastic pole, referred to as the “reach tube,” encases the center portion of the pendant. It provides a means to “reach” and place the upper eye on the helicopter hook as the helicopter hovers above a load to be lifted.
The upper, or top, eye is encased in a preformed semi-rigid urethane shield which provides a means to place the upper eye on the helicopter hook. The shield also protects the strength member rope from wear, chafe, and cuts. The lower, or bottom, eye is larger than the top eye which provides a larger area for additional slings to be employed for lifting. The bottom eye also protects the rope strength member with a nylon-reinforced urethane protective shield. Both of the protective shields (top and bottom) allow the rope strength member to move or stretch freely under load. The pendant is 100% synthetic which minimizes electric static shock.
