    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.

    Low-Stretch No-Flatten Rope—Not for Lifting

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Rope. Low-Stretch No-Flatten Rope—Not for Lifting.
    Choose this polyester plastic 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.

    Extra-Flexible Wire Rope with Reinforced Loop

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Wire Rope. Extra-Flexible Wire Rope with Reinforced Loop.
    Quickly attach a shackle or hook to the reinforced loop on this wire rope. Also known as a thimble eye, the loop saves you time when setting up pulley or towing systems. With more than twice as many individual wires as standard options, it's also easier to bend and wind onto winches and drums without wear.
    Warning: Not for overhead lifting.
    18-8 Stainless Steel—With solid stainless steel construction, this wire rope has no plating that could wear away. It resists rust, but it won't hold up to the harsh chemicals that 316 stainless steel can.
    Galvanized Steel—The outer layer resists moisture but can wear down when exposed to salt water and chemicals.
    Wire Rope Construction—Strand core rope is crush and impact-resistant.
    Preformed—With each wire shaped into a spiral before being twisted onto the rope, they maintain their shape when cut. This keeps them from unraveling or poking equipment and users.

    Rotation-Resistant Wire Rope for Lifting

    Image of Product. 19 × 7 Strand Core. Front orientation. Wire Rope. Rotation-Resistant Wire Rope for Lifting, 19 × 7 Strand Core Wire Rope.

    19 × 7 Strand Core

    This wire rope won't spin or twist loads in the air. The outer strands twist in the opposite direction of the inner strands to keep loads stable when lifted or suspended. They're often used to lift and lower elevators without any unwanted movement.
    Warning: Never use wire rope to lift people or items over people.
    18-8 Stainless Steel—With solid stainless steel construction, this wire rope has no plating that could wear away. It resists rust, but it won't hold up to the harsh chemicals that 316 stainless steel can.
    Wire Rope Construction— Independent Wire Rope Core (IWRC) is the strongest wire rope construction, but strand core rope is a durable alternative for lighter-duty applications.
    Preformed—With each wire shaped into a spiral before being twisted onto the rope, they maintain their shape when cut. This keeps them from unraveling or poking equipment and users.

    7 × 19 Strand Core

    Wind this wire rope onto a winch or drum to pull and tow vehicles, trailers, and more. It contains more than twice as many individual wires as standard wire rope to bend easily without wear. All rope is manufactured in the U.S.
    Warning: Not for overhead lifting.
    Galvanized Steel—The outer layer resists moisture but can wear down when exposed to salt water and chemicals.
    18-8 Stainless Steel—With solid stainless steel construction, this wire rope has no plating that could wear away. It resists rust, but it won't hold up to the harsh chemicals that 316 stainless steel can.

    Image of Product. Bottom orientation. Contains Annotated. Wire Rope End Fittings. Ball-with-Shank-End Roller Swage Wire Rope End Fittings—Not for Lifting.
    Also known as socket-end swage fittings, install these end fittings with a roller swage press for a strong, permanent hold. They have a thicker shank wall than compression-grip end fittings. Made of 18-8 stainless steel, these fittings have excellent corrosion resistance to chemicals.
    Warning: Fittings must match rope diameter and be installed correctly to obtain maximum holding power. Test all assemblies for required strength before use. Do not use with coated rope unless the coating is removed.
