High-Temperature Wear-Resistant Rope—For Lifting

Polyester Cover

Aramid Cover

Because it's made of a high-performance aramid also known as Technora, this rope keeps its strength in high heat and is chemical and corrosion resistant. 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.

Polyester Plastic Cover—Rope with a polyester plastic cover resists UV rays, rot, oil, and gas.

Aramid Cover—Rope with an aramid cover withstands higher temperatures than rope with a polyester cover.

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.

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.

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

Long-Life Ultra-Wear-Resistant Rope—For Lifting

Made from a blend of high-performance polyester and polyethylene with a polyurethane coating, this rope has the greatest wear resistance of any rope we offer. It will stand up to high-friction applications, such as lifting heavy loads with a multiple pulley system. In addition to being long lasting, this rope also resists stretching and slipping. The polyester used for this rope is also known as Vectran; the polyethylene is comparable to Dyneema and Spectra. Braided with a hollow core, this rope is easier to splice than other rope when adding a fitting or connecting rope. It does not rotate under load.

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