    Image of Product. Front orientation. Rope. Wear-Indicating Low-Stretch Rope—Not for Lifting.
    A red neoprene layer shows through the cover of this rope when it’s worn, indicating that it’s time to replace the rope. Made of polyester, this rope stretches minimally, so it is often used to tie items down. The cover also resists UV rays, rot, oil, and gas. A latex coating further protects against wear in high-friction applications. With a strand core, this rope bends freely. It will not rotate under load.
    Note: The safety factor for capacity is 12:1.
