Low-Stretch No-Flatten 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. 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.

Low-Stretch Wear-Resistant Rope—Not for Lifting

Choose this polyester rope for applications that require minimal stretch, such as in tie-down applications. A braided cover protects the braided core from wear during use. The rope resists UV rays, rot, oil, and gas, and will not lose strength when wet. It knots easily and does not rotate under load.

Polyurethane-coated rope is good for high-friction applications since its coating gives it increased wear resistance.

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

Low-Stretch Flexible Rope—Not for Lifting

White

Black with Reflective Strands

Rope has a strand core, which allows it to bend freely. The core is polyester to give the rope stretch resistance.

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

Polyester covers resist UV rays, rot, oil, and gas.

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.
