Taglines Taglines are used in horizontal rope systems to control, stabilize, or maneuver a load laterally across a gap or down a slope. They are often simple tensioned lines attached to a load, providing directional control. Purpose: Taglines ensure the load moves along a predetermined path, reducing the chance of unwanted swinging or collisions with […]
