Product Description
In logging, strawline (aka haywire) is a small diameter cable fitted with special hooks, typically sold in common pre-cut lengths of 250 - 300 ft. It is carried and pulled by hand across the canyon or up the opposite side of the mountain, and then connected to a heavier cable (for example, a skyline). It is then used in a system of blocks and pulleys, and pulled by the machine (yarder) to get the skyline out into the brush, ultimately reaching the anchor point. The size of the cable you intend to move / pull determines the diameter of the strawline you use--the bigger, the stronger. This strawline section is made from
Swaged Wire Rope, which means it gives you the ultimate in strength and performance. Because it is compacted, it weighs more per foot than regular cable, which also makes it stronger. The outside of the cable, due to being compacted, is also smoother than regular cable which makes it tougher and more resistant to snags and abrasion.
- Made with 6x26 WS high-performance swaged wire rope, which is compacted after being closedthis means a greater linear density and higher strength rating
- End fittings are professionally swaged (aka pressed) according to industry standards
- Eyes are knotted according to industry standard
- Each section is banded for easy handling
- Custom sizes and lengths available upon request
