The SKEDCO Weak Links, bag of 10, are a critical safety component designed to enhance helicopter hoist operations by protecting both patients and aircraft. Crafted from special nylon cord, these weak links ensure safe tag line use.

Each weak link is engineered to break at a tension of 120-141 kg, serving as a safety “break away” if the rope entangles in obstacles like trees or masts. A new link is required for each live patient hoist, providing a compromise that minimises risk to the aircraft while maximising patient protection. Ideal for tactical rescue missions, this bag of 10 is a must-have for helicopter rescue teams.

  • Breaks at 120-141 kg to prevent entanglement risks during hoists.
  • Made from durable special nylon cord for reliable performance.
  • Requires a new link per live patient hoist for optimal safety.
  • Minimises risk to helicopters by separating under excessive tension.
