RIGID RAIDER CASE STUDY

In 2007, Cargo Aids were contacted by the contractor and IPT regarding the urgentdesign of a restraint required for a vessel that was due to be commissioned thefollowing day.

The restraint was to ensure that the Rigid Raider would not be lost during enginemaintenance, where it was imperative for the derrick to be detached; this in turn couldthreaten the security of the Rigid Raider.

Cargo Aids responded immediately to HMS Portsmouth and designed, produced anddelivered the required restraint to the vessel at another location during sea trials; alldone within July 2007. This allowed the vessel to sail to the South Atlantic for anextended deployment with sufficient restraints to complete the mission.

The total number of lashings made for this requirement was 10, allowing for ultimatetesting and retention of a sample. Even though this was a small specialist requirement,Cargo Aids responded as they would to any request.

MC1 WebbingTie Down

CAB0001_ISS_04 02/09/09

A proven, lightweight, user friendly lashing, extensively deployed by the defence industry. The MC1 was initially designed to secure embarked helicopters to ships flight decks.

This nylon webbing tie-down has a fast single action over centre mechanism which gives tension and locking in one easy movement. It is impossible to over tension, and the slack can be taken up without reloading the mechanism. Release is a reverse single action.

Historically chosen by the MOD for its simplicity and outstanding robust quality, it has outlasted many othertensioning devices.

Approved by the Civil Aviation Authority and Ministry of Defence, the system is rigorously tested to the highstandards required by the defence and aircraft industry.

The nylon is treated to resist abrasion and the effects of sunlight. The mechanical components are treated with defence standard coatings to give maximum durability.

Easy to Load, quick to release; our MC1 also includes a unique clutch mechanism allowing the slack to be taken up without reloading.

We coat all metal surfaces with high technology defence standard treatments giving maximum endurance. The nylon webbing is specially treated to resist abrasion and UV damage.

Fast RopingSystem

CAB0001_ISS_04 02/09/09

We have supplied fast rope systems for use on Agusta Westland’s Super Lynx 300 and EH101 helicopters.

The fast roping system offers very high load ratings, providing excellent safety factors, reliability and versatility.

Used for rapid deployment and special operations, our fast rope system greatly accelerates the ability toinfiltrate from a helicopter, maximising the surprise element whilst improving safety.

When descent is required, ropes can be attached in one fast, easy operation. Our fast roping systemtypically features up to five ropes per helicopter.

Each rope can be released/loaded individually or simultaneously.

Should an emergency situation occur a number of rope release options are available: Manual release with a thumb lever Electrical release from a remote point Cable release of ropes via a jettison handle feature, which eliminates the requirement for cutting the ropes thus saving valuable time.

Quick and simple operation makes for a fast-functioning, safe system. Features include the keeperless release mechanism, which provides safe, repeatable loading and release capability.

The optional aluminium termination fittingincorporates an at-a-glance safety check for fail safe inspection in the field.

Dynalite Termination (D.L.T)The new Dynalite Termination is a 12 strand construction rope manufactured from H.M.P.E. Dyneema and spliced through the end of the rope. It offers a very light weight option which can be attached to most hoists. In case of rapid deployment of troops it is also possible to detach the rope without the risk of injury to the personnel below or damage to the ship decks. The weight and construction of the termination enables repeat usage (a close visual inspection of the termination is recommended before each use) as it is unlikely that the termination will suffer on landing.

Spliced Eye (S.E)Ideally suited for training scenarios. The over sized eye can be easily hooked over support beams or scaffolding to mimic a helicopter descent.

Multifit Termination (M.F.T.) The new Multifit Termination (M.F.T) designed to fit to a wider range of helicopter cargo hooks. The M.F.T features a 45mm machined eye allowing fast attachment and removal.

Standard Conical Termination (S.C.T.)For use with a helicopter cargo hook. It is attached to the cargo hook using a bolt & split pin.
