Why should I use a Line Saver?
As the name implies, Line Savers save lines or more specifically, ropes. Without a Line Saver, your expensive rope is pulled over the top of the lift cable. Not only will this likely cover your rope with grease, oil and dirt, the abrasion from the cable will drastically reduce the life of your rope.
Should I keep a Rope Log, and if so, what should that Log include?
Yes, you should always keep a rope log. You may contact Cascade Rescue Company at any time and we will mail you a sample log. Rope logs should contain at a very minimum by individual rope:
a. Date the rope was put into service
b. When the rope was used (each time)
c. Rope type and manufacturer
d. Any unusual issues such as static drops or contact with chemicals
What rope or cord is recommended for Self-evacuation?
