Frequently asked questions about Barry products

What does Barry Cordage manufacture?

Barry Cordage designs and manufactures industrial rope and netting systems for safety-critical operations: helicopter longlines and cargo nets, knotless safety netting for fall protection and debris containment, Barry D.E.W. Line® dielectric insulating rope tools and safety nets for live-line work, lineman rescue kits, industrial rope, rescue equipment, and drone, UAV and military underslung load equipment. Products are designed and manufactured in Montréal, Canada, where the company was founded in 1978.

Which helicopter cargo net capacity do I need?

Choose a net whose working load limit (WLL) is higher than the heaviest load you will carry, including the weight of the net and rigging, and stay within the external load limit of your helicopter and cargo hook. Barry helicopter cargo nets are rated 1,500 lb (model A1), 3,000 lb (model B1), 5,000 lb (model 8C), 6,600 lb (model C1) and, for military models, 5,000 lb and 10,000 lb. A dedicated 3,000 lb net is available for heli-mulching.

What is the difference between a wired and a non-wired helicopter longline?

A wired longline (Barry model DLL) integrates an electrical cable along the line so the pilot can open the remote cargo hook at the end of the longline from the cockpit. A non-wired longline (model BLL) carries no electrical cable; the load is released with a manually operated or mechanical hook. Wired longlines are the standard choice for precision work such as utility construction and firefighting, while non-wired longlines are lighter and simpler for general lifting. Both are available in several lengths and working load limits, and a dielectric D.E.W. Line® version exists for work near energized power lines.

What is knotless safety netting and how do I choose the right strength?

Knotless netting is knitted rather than knotted: the mesh has no knots to slip, snag or abrade, so panels are lighter, smoother and more uniform than knotted nets. Barry rates its knotless net panels by the breaking strength of a single mesh: 100 lb (light duty, 0.5 in to 1 in mesh), 300 lb (medium duty, 1.75 in mesh) and 700 lb (heavy duty, 2.5 in mesh), plus a fire-resistant 300 lb nylon and an extra-heavy UHMWPE rope net. Pick the strength from the application (debris containment, fall protection, pallet rack guarding or lifting) and the size of the smallest object the net must stop; standard panels can be ordered online in custom dimensions with a rope or webbing border.

What are Barry D.E.W. Line® insulating rope tools?

Barry D.E.W. Line® is a family of dielectric (non-conductive) rope tools designed for electric utility crews working on or near energized lines: insulating work ropes in three working-load classes (NP2800, NP4500 and ND16K), tag lines, throw lines, rope links, rescue rope and lift-assist kits, along with insulating safety nets and lineman rescue kits. Insulating rope for live-line work is covered by ASTM F1701; Barry ropes are designed for this application and tested in Barry's own high-voltage laboratory.

How do I get a price or request a quote?

Most Barry products are quoted rather than sold at a fixed online price, because lengths, capacities and fittings are configured to your operation. Open the product page, add it to your quote request and submit the form; a member of the team replies with pricing and lead time. Standard knotless net panels can be priced directly online by entering your dimensions. You can also call +1 800 305-2673 or write to info@barry.ca.

Does Barry ship outside Canada?

Yes. Barry products are used in more than 75 countries. Orders for the United States are handled by the affiliate company Barry USA Inc., and international customers are served directly from Montréal. Contact the team for export documentation, standards compliance (STANAG, FAA, CE) and shipping options for your country.
