KO-LINK Towing Ring from Lankhorst Ropes
Posted by Irina Tabakina
The KO-LINK towing ring, developed by KOTUG International BV, is available from Lankhorst Ropes. The KO-LINK ring increases synthetic towing line service life by preventing the HMPE pennant from cutting through the line. KO-LINK is a highly polished, lightweight, aluminum ring, which is inserted and attached to the splice eye of the towline.
