Timm Flex 8 Tail is an 8-strand mooring tail with high elongation properties, specially designed to withstand tough swells, strong winds and currents.
Product information
Our specially designed mooring tails (pendants) are made to withstand tough swells, strong winds and currents. Timm Flex Tails have very high elongation properties, making them ideal for mooring in the most challenging of sea terminals.
Mooring tails are used to protect the mooring lines and to allow ships to sway and move with the environment.
Our flex tails have a high abrasion and UV resistance - providing a durable mooringsolution and acting as an absorber for sudden energy changes.
OCIMF recommends 22m polyamide tails as an exposed berth standard - for longer wave environments.
Features
- Very high elongation
- 100% high tenacity PA fiber
- Suitable for challenging sea terminal conditions
- Protected eyes
Benefits
- Smooth handling surface
