Wet-Environment Wear-Resistant Rope—For Lifting

Strong even when wet, this rope is a high-performance polyethylene also known as Spectra. The braided cover protects the braided core from wear during use. Rope knots easily and does not rotate under load.

Note: The safety factor for capacity is 5:1. Warning: Never use to lift people or items over people.

Wet-Environment Easy-Splice Rope—For Lifting

Strong even when wet, this rope is a high-performance polyethylene also known as Spectra. It resists UV rays and will float in water. It's braided with a hollow core, so it's easier to splice than other rope for adding a fitting or connecting rope together. It knots easily and does not rotate under load.

Note: The safety factor for capacity is 5:1. Warning: Never use to lift people or items over people.
