This insulating helicopter longline is designed to be integrated as part of a PCDS, STC (or LSTC) for Human External Cargo (HEC), also known as Class D or Human External Transport System (HETS), for work on AC or DC energized apparatus.
It can also be used for non-energized work, as it offers many benefits beyond its unique insulating properties, when compared to traditional HEC longlines.
