Low-Stretch Easy-Splice Rope—For Lifting

For more control over your load, this rope has excellent resistance to stretch and slip. It is a high-performance polyester also known as Vectran. 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 does not rotate under load.

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