Low-Stretch No-Flatten Rope—Not for Lifting

Choose this polyester rope for applications that require minimal stretch, such as in tie-down applications. It resists UV rays, rot, oil, and gas, and will not lose 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.

When wet, it can lose up to 20% of its strength. It knots easily and does not rotate under load.

Note: The safety factor for capacity is 12:1.

Comfort-Grip Reinforced Wire-Core Rope—Not for Lifting

This soft cotton rope with twisted construction allows you to grip it tight without it slipping or hurting your hands. 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.

Note: The safety factor for capacity is 12:1.
