Bog Strops

These lightweight recovery strops for large vehicles were developed on invitation by BHP Billiton in the USA some years ago. Since then these Bog Strops have become a regular piece of kit in Australia and the USA and has a BHP endorsement. Having little or no snatch back, minimal weight and no burs or pinch points traditional with steel wire or chain Jeyco Bog Strops provide a safe easy method for vehicle recovery in the worst conditions.

Fibre

Fibre ropes have come a long way since ancient people rolled and wove sheaves of grass. Today, fibre rope is made from familiar synthetic fibres such as nylon and polyester, or advanced fibres such as SPECTRA or KEVLAR. Hi-tech machines braid ropes with precise tension and braid angles.

Fibre rope provides excellent strength to weight ratios, and can be found in a bewildering array of configurations that take into account braiding style, stretch, 'feel', torque, wet and dry abrasion, UV resistance, water absorption, inspectibility and splicing characteristics.

Braid Style

2 styles of braid generally predominate: the plait and the double braid. Plaited ropes offer easy splicing and inspectibility, while a double braided rope provides up to 25% higher breaking strength on a weight to weight basis.

Stretch

Elongation characteristics can have a significant defining influence on the uses to which a rope will be put. Ropes exhibiting high elongation rates under load provide excellent shock absorbing properties for highly dynamic applications such as anchor and mooring lines. At other times, such as for trawling or winching and lifting, elongation needs to be kept to a minimum.

Feel

Unlike wire rope, most fibre ropes provide a 'soft feel' that is easy on the hands.

Torque

Braided ropes provide a 'torque free' construction that prevents the appearance of kinks.

Abrasion

While a fibre rope will never withstand as much abrasive punishment as a wire rope, modern fibres are producing ropes with excellent wear resistance in both wet and dry conditions.

Jeyco takes all of these characteristics into account when advising you on the best choice of rope for your application.

Having exclusive Australian agency for the world's best rope products from Puget Sound Rope and Quintas & Quintas means that Jeyco can provide the highest quality ropes available in Australia.

Specialised Rope Products

Jeyco is the sole Australian distributor for the spectra fibre PLASMA (HMPE) rope, PLASMA rope is used in a wide range of high load applications, where traditional wire rope or a larger diameter fibre rope would have been used, PLASMA is stronger, lighter, safer (less recoil) and easier to handle.

Mooring Design & Supply

Moorings are a pertinent part of every vessel that requires a berth in an area where permanent tie up options alongside are not available or not practical to where the vessel is likely to carry out its daily activity. It is also highly important that the mooring is suitable for the vessel tethered to it for a number of reasons most of them relating to Safety and Security to the vessel. A poorly designed or constructed mooring can cause incalculable damage to surrounding vessels or infrastructure if it fails which can be easily prevented if professionally approached. Jeyco sees mooring projects broken into three key areas as follows:-

1. Engineering:  Design of Mooring and Architectural Layout based on the vessels specifications and desired mooring area and use.
2. Components: Tested and Certified in accordance to Engineering Design.
3. Installation: by a certified Mooring Installer with adequate experience.

Each of the above steps has equal importance and should be conducted by capable, qualified personnel. Jeyco utilises and is unique in that they have their own Naval Architect and design facilities. Jeyco use the best chandlery products available in their mooring systems which are assembled prior to dispatch and installation which is overseen by qualified Jeyco staff.

Integrityin a mooringis only achieved through experience and technical ability. Jeyco has been designing and supplying mooring systems in Australia and internationally for many years and are a market leader in this capacity.

Designand engineering in a mooring system are the foundations of its performance over its expected life. Regardless of size Jeyco can analyse, design and engineer a mooring system that meets your requirements from individual vessels to whole fleet units.

Qualitycovers a number of mooring fundamentals. Value, reliability and longevity are to name a few. Jeyco uses the best quality components to fit out quality controlled designs and engineering resulting in our clients receiving a system that provides ultimate piece of mind.
