Hydra Range
HYDRA 3000 SERIESOffshore pennants and slings
A simple yet flexible solution to operationsin increased water depths utilising existingequipment is to operate pennant extensionlines or specialised sling arrangements.
The use of steel wire ropes for thisapplication is widespread, matching therope properties on the original equipment.With the availability of modern syntheticfibres length extension can be furthertailored to suit elastic and weightrequirements offering benefits in loadbearing capacity and damping behaviours.
Furthermore such components can bedeveloped to suit specific equipment forautomated pennant rope deploymentsystems.
HYDRA 5000 SERIESOffshore deployment winch applications
As demands for deeper water operationsgrow, suspended rope weight impactsseverely on available winch capacity.Optimised robust performance withminimised weight is highlighted in theHydra 5000 series of products providinghigh strength to weight ratio solutions.
Operational needs require a robust ropefor use over a single layer traction winch,typical for arrangements in pipelayabandonment & recovery equipment. Aswith all products in the Hydra range, ropelubricant can be modified to ensureperformance throughout all applicationdemands, including elevatedtemperatures experienced in heavecompensation arrangements.
HYDRA 7000 SERIESOffshore Cranes
The most demanding applicationsrequire the highest performing products.
Large capacity multilayer winchingarrangements necessary forsophisticated offshore cranes exertforces on the rope beyond those purelyattributable to an axial load. The load isapplied directly to the reeled rope on itsstorage winch resolving the forcesradially on the lower layers of rope. Suchloading arrangements require a rope ofexcellent resistance to crushing,exhibiting a high radial stiffness. TheDyform products within the Hydra rangeoffer the most effective crush resistance.
Bridon Hydra range of products hasbeen developed to meet the varyingdemands of different offshore liftingand deployment applications.
As the World’s leading rope manufacturer, Bridonunderstands a single solution does not suit allrequirements and tailoring the rope to match applicationscan offer major operational benefits. With a range ofcustomised rope designs and materials, including highstrength steel, specialist lubrication and synthetic fibres,the range of complementary solutions cover every aspect of operational demands.
The comprehensive Bridon Hydra range of offshore liftingand deployment rope solutions has resulted fromextensive and ongoing research and development closelymatched to the identified needs of the end user. Bridon’sin house research resource is available as part of productsupply, to further assess your rope performance againstyour specific criteria.
Bridon Hydra offers a range of rope solutions & servicesfor offshore lifting and deployment dedicated to optimiseoperational performance for specific application needs.

Hydra Range
HYDRA 3000 SERIESOffshore pennants and slings
A simple yet flexible solution to operationsin increased water depths utilising existingequipment is to operate pennant extensionlines or specialised sling arrangements.
The use of steel wire ropes for thisapplication is widespread, matching therope properties on the original equipment.With the availability of modern syntheticfibres length extension can be furthertailored to suit elastic and weightrequirements offering benefits in loadbearing capacity and damping behaviours.
Furthermore such components can bedeveloped to suit specific equipment forautomated pennant rope deploymentsystems.
HYDRA 5000 SERIESOffshore deployment winch applications
As demands for deeper water operationsgrow, suspended rope weight impactsseverely on available winch capacity.Optimised robust performance withminimised weight is highlighted in theHydra 5000 series of products providinghigh strength to weight ratio solutions.
Operational needs require a robust ropefor use over a single layer traction winch,typical for arrangements in pipelayabandonment & recovery equipment. Aswith all products in the Hydra range, ropelubricant can be modified to ensureperformance throughout all applicationdemands, including elevatedtemperatures experienced in heavecompensation arrangements.
HYDRA 7000 SERIESOffshore Cranes
The most demanding applicationsrequire the highest performing products.
Large capacity multilayer winchingarrangements necessary forsophisticated offshore cranes exertforces on the rope beyond those purelyattributable to an axial load. The load isapplied directly to the reeled rope on itsstorage winch resolving the forcesradially on the lower layers of rope. Suchloading arrangements require a rope ofexcellent resistance to crushing,exhibiting a high radial stiffness. TheDyform products within the Hydra rangeoffer the most effective crush resistance.
