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 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.

High-Strength Shock-Absorbing Wear-Resistant Rope—Not for Lifting

This rope shares the weight of a load between the core and the cover, giving it added strength. It's made of nylon, which compensates for sudden force, such as in towing applications or dock lines. The braided cover protects the braided core from wear during use. The rope resists rot and mildew. When wet, it can lose up to 20% of its strength.

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