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.

Comfort-Grip Low-Stretch Grip-Tight Rope—Not for Lifting

The soft polyester cover is easy on your hands. Rope is polyester for use in applications that require minimal stretch, such as in tie-down applications. It resists UV rays, rot, oil, and gas, and it will not lose strength when wet. The twisted construction gives rope a grooved surface, allowing you to grip it tight without it slipping.

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.

Wet-Environment Easy-Splice Rope—For Lifting

Strong even when wet, this rope is a high-performance polyethylene also known as Spectra. It resists UV rays and will float in water. It's braided with a hollow core, so it's easier to splice than other rope for adding a fitting or connecting rope together. It 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.

Extra-Flexible Wire Rope—Not for Lifting

6 x 19 IWRC Core

7 x 19 IWRC Core

More wires per strand than other wire rope provides the flexibility required for repeat bending over drums and pulleys. It is often used for hanging, tethering, and constructing barriers. Individual wire strands are preformed to maintain their shape and prevent rope from unraveling when cut. Lubricated rope reduces wear.

Strand and IWRC core are more crush resistant than fiber core.
