    Shock-Absorbing No-Flatten Rope—Not for Lifting

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Rope. Shock-Absorbing No-Flatten Rope—Not for Lifting.
    Use this nylon rope when you need to compensate for sudden force, such as in towing applications or dock lines. Rope is rot and mildew resistant, but it can lose up to 20% of its strength when wet. Solid braided construction keeps the rope from flattening during use and disperses wear evenly, making it a good choice for high-friction applications, such as passing through pulleys. It knots easily and does not rotate under load.
    Note: The safety factor for capacity is 12:1.

    Shock-Absorbing Wear-Resistant Rope—Not for Lifting

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Rope. Shock-Absorbing Wear-Resistant Rope—Not for Lifting.
    A braided nylon core protected by a braided cover makes this rope resistant to both wear and sudden forces, such as those found in towing applications and dock lines. The braided construction also prevents the rope from rotating under load. When wet, this rope can lose up to 20% of its strength. It resists rot.
    Note: The safety factor for capacity is 12:1.
    Nylon Cover—Nylon-covered rope resists mildew.
    Polyester Plastic Cover—Polyester plastic-covered rope resists UV rays, oil, and gas.
    Polyurethane-Coated Polyester Plastic Cover—Polyurethane-coated rope is good for high-friction applications since its coating gives it increased wear resistance.

    Shock-Absorbing Easy-Splice Rope—Not for Lifting

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Rope. Shock-Absorbing Easy-Splice Rope—Not for Lifting.
    Made from nylon, this rope compensates for sudden force, such as in towing applications and dock lines. A polyurethane coating gives this rope wear resistance for high-friction applications. It’s braided with a hollow core, so it’s easier to splice than other rope when adding a fitting or connecting rope together. It doesn’t rotate under load.

    Shock-Absorbing Reinforced Wire-Core Rope—Not for Lifting

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Rope. Shock-Absorbing Reinforced Wire-Core Rope—Not for Lifting.
    Often used with pulleys and sheaves, this nylon rope is more wear resistant than cotton, and has more stretch to help compensate for sudden force. The wire core makes it more wear resistant than rope with a fiber core, and it helps the rope keep its shape, so it won’t stretch with repeated use. Rope does not rotate under load.
