Excell Boat lifts is continuously seeking a means to improve efficiency, the technology and safety associated with lifting and maintaining boats. We were recently awrded one of the very few patents in the industry for an all aluminum boat hoist system which mitigates salt water corrosion while also preventing cracks from propogating due to constant stress within conventional welded and galvanized legacy systems. Now we are introducing yet another field proven and EXcell tested new boat lift technology to the industry. We have now installed this technology in 20 systems with great success.
We have partnered with a well-known supplier of Plasma Synthetic Rope to offer yet another step change in legacy boat hoist thinking. Cable has been used in conventional systems for 30 years. It has been known to create issues. It corrodes, it can twist and create a rat nest around your lift drum and/or simply break. When this occurs, it can cause unwanted circumstances with regard to repair or maintenance.
The patented Plasma® 12×12 hoist line is constructed from a 12-strand braided synthetic rope in which each of the 12 strands is a 12-strand rope, or braided primary strand. This construction provides the user with the following benefits:
Long lay lengths
Flexible design for bending applications
Easy to inspect
Easy to splice and repair using standard 12 strand splicing techniques
High-strength translation efficiency for medium to large diameter ropes
Plasma® line can be used similar to wire rope as the primary lifting medium used for overhead lifts. The rope fibers can be designed and constructed in a variety of
ways to provide different mechanical advantages for lifts—including creep and fatigue-resistance and ultimate flexibility for bending over sheaves and spooling around a drum or winch.
In most cases, Plasma® Line has equal or greater strength, size for size, when compared to wire rope. Because synthetic hoist line is made of fibers and not metal, it is resistant to corrosion and can tolerate almost any natural element, including UV rays, rain, snow, ice, and freezing or high temperatures. 12 ply synthetic hoist line is also resistant to chemical exposure such as bleaches and some acids, and also perform well in fresh water or saltwater applications due to their neutral buoyancy and resistance to liquid absorption.
When used for winching applications Plasma® 12-strand line can provide longer service life and better performance than wire rope when properly installed and maintained. Lighter than steel, and easier on the hands, Plasma® line spools up flat and Synthetic rope slings can also be constructed from Plasma® 12×12 braided construction to create lifting slings that are extremely strong, durable, lightweight, and flexible. With synthetic rope slings, you get the strength and durability of wire rope slings, plus the weight-savings and load protection of synthetic round slings—all in one product.
