Carriage System The carriage system for a quad bundle highline is very similar to the single trackline. The composite rigidity of 4 ropes is twice as much as that of 2…we can now keep our deflection at 2.5% of the overall length of span. This is a good system for heavy loads and/or extremely shallow …

The Gin Pole The floating gin pole (mono-pod) is a useful alternative for a high directional especially when trying to consolidate equipment. With proper guying in place, the gin pole works quite well as a high directional for the quad-bundle. Highline operations are dangerous. They are the most difficult of all vertical rescues. Under no …

The Termination Side This video depicts the termination of a quad-bundle trackline. Once again we are using prusik bypasses on each leg to eliminate the knot from the system. If these bypasses were to receive excessive tension, slipping would start to occur, thus easing the transfer of the load onto the termination knot. Highline operations …
