Wet-Environment Grip-Tight Rope—Not for Lifting
This polypropylene rope floats in water, resists rot, and doesn’t lose strength when wet. It also resists acid, oil, and gas. The twisted construction gives rope a grooved surface, allowing you to grip it tight without it slipping.
Note: The safety factor for capacity is 12:1.
UV-Resistant Wet-Environment Grip-Tight Rope—Not for Lifting
Also known as truck tie-down rope, this rope has added UV-ray inhibitors to protect it from deterioration when used outdoors. Rope is polypropylene so it floats in water, resists rot, and doesn’t lose strength when wet. It also resists acid, oil, and gas. The twisted construction gives rope a grooved surface, allowing you to grip it tight without it slipping.
Note: The safety factor for capacity is 12:1.
Low-Stretch Grip-Tight Rope—Not for Lifting
Choose this polyester 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. The twisted construction gives it a grooved surface, allowing you to grip it tight without it slipping.
Note: The safety factor for capacity is 12:1 safety factor.
Lightweight Low-Stretch Grip-Tight Rope—Not for Lifting
Made of a polyester/polypropylene blend, this rope is approximately 15% lighter than standard polyester rope. Use it 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. The twisted construction gives it a grooved surface, allowing you to grip it tight without it slipping.
Note: The safety factor for capacity is 12:1.
Extra-Grip-Tight Rope—Not for Lifting
Softer than all other grip-tight rope, this manila rope is more comfortable to grip. Its twisted construction gives it a grooved surface, so you can grip it tight without it slipping.
Note: The safety factor for capacity is 12:1.
Shock-Absorbing Grip-Tight Rope—Not for Lifting
Use this nylon rope when you need to compensate for sudden force, such as in towing applications or dock lines. It is rot and mildew resistant. When wet, the rope can lose up to 20% of its strength. The twisted construction gives this rope a grooved surface, allowing you to grip it tight without it slipping.
Note: The safety factor for capacity is 12:1.
Shock-Absorbing Wear-Resistant Rope—Not for Lifting
A braided nylon core protected by a braided cover makes this rope resistant to both wear and sudden forces, such as those found in towing applications and dock lines. The braided construction also prevents the rope from rotating under load. When wet, this rope can lose up to 20% of its strength. It resists rot.
Nylon-covered rope resists mildew.
Note: The safety factor for capacity is 12:1.

Wire Rope Slings
 Crimped Eye |  Basket |
 Choker | |
 Vertical |
These slings are more abrasion and cut resistant than web and round slings, yet lighter in weight than mesh and chain slings. They include a tag that shows capacities in each configuration.
Crimped eye slings are secured with a metal sleeve.
6 × 19 construction is more flexible than 7 × 7.
Warning: Never use to lift people or items over people.
