Introducing the PMI Hoistmaster: Purpose-Built for Tower Rigging

PMI Technical Team — Wed, 25 Feb 2026 18:42:03 +0000

Engineered for optimal performance, time after time. Designed to deliver controlled lifting, dependable handling, and strength under demanding conditions, the Hoistmaster is a lifting rope you can count on. When precision, durability, and reliability matter most, PMI Hoistmaster stands ready to perform—job after job, lift after lift.

PMI Hoistmaster

12.5mm. Unicore construction. ASME B30 certified lifting gear, purpose-built for tower rigging.

Unicore bonds the core and sheath into a single unit at the factory. There is no core migration. No differential wear between layers. Consistent performance, load after load.

10,431 lbf MBS. That number comes from 3-Sigma testing across full production runs, not selected samples.

1.3% elongation at 300 lbf. The load goes exactly where you send it.

Minimal rotation keeps loads stable and reduces torque on rigging hardware. High abrasion resistance means longer rope life and less wear on equipment.

100% polyester sheath. Nylon 6.6 core. Built to hold up in the conditions tower sites actually create.

Introduced at NATE UNITE 2026

The Hoistmaster was presented this week to over 500 tower industry professionals at NATE UNITE 2026. Loui McCurley, CEO of Beal-PMI, spent an hour with that audience examining exactly what happens to rope under tower load conditions and why construction choices determine field performance. The Hoistmaster was in the room.

If you were at Booth 504, you already saw it and maybe even got yourself a sample. If not, this is the link.

The Harken PowerSeat is built of strong, noncorrosive materials and weighs just 30.80 lbs (14.000 kg) for easy hand carry. Maximum working load is 601.80 lbs (73.000 kg), allowing two-person rescue operations. It is CE certified to Machinery Directive and verified by Bureau Veritas. The PowerSeat’s many applications include: mountain rescue, industrial maintenance, wind turbine & offshore construction, engineering and inspections, marine & rigging. It can also be used in horizontal configurations to haul material or fixed -point rigging for rescue. *Must be used with a Fall-Arrest system
