Case M/S O. Husby

Challenge

The line is sliding in the line retriever and the main hauler. This results in increased wear of the equipment, stops during the hauling and hassle for the crew.

Solution

The line retriever’s function is to:

• Keep tension and pull the line out of the main haulers sheaves during hauling to reduce the amount of wear on the hauler’s sheave and the line
• Simplify the handling of end ropes when hauled into storage bin
• Simplify the hook separation and reduce the wear of the hook separator

Testimonial

Mustad’s new line retriever FB320 was installed April 2011, and our experiences are entirely positive.

The line retriever operates stabile, and the line slides neither in the main hauler nor the line retriever. The connection against the main hauler is making the line retriever always to follow the main hauler’s speed. Immediately after installation we see the investment was appropriate, and the payback period will be short.
