Rope with a polyester cover resists UV rays, rot, oil, and gas.
Note: The safety factor for capacity is 5:1. Warning: Never use to lift people or items over people.
Rope with Eye on Both Ends—Not for Lifting

Rope has an eye on both ends to save time when attaching to tie downs and hooks. It knots easily and won’t rotate under load. Polyethylene rope is strong even when wet. Its performance is comparable to Spectra and Dyneema. It’s commonly used as a lightweight alternative to wire rope because of its excellent strength to weight ratio.
Note: The safety factor for capacity is 12:1.
Rope with Hook—Not for Lifting

This rope has a hook with a latch on one end for use with winches. Made of polypropylene, the rope floats in water, resists rot, and doesn’t lose strength when wet.
