Technical Guidance
Customisation
All rope specifications can be customised including: material (HMPE, Aramid, Power-mixed, Polyethylene, Polypropylene, Nylon, Polyester), construction (3-strand, 4-strand, 6-strand, 8-strand, 12-strand, double-braided, parallel-strand), diameter, circumference, length (metres, feet, yards), hand feeling (soft/medium/hard/extra hard), twist direction (Z or S), packaging, and colour (any colour available).
Safe Handling
Choose the right rope for the job — consider working load, method of use and environment. Always examine for damage before and during use. Pay attention to twist direction when uncoiling — Z-twist ropes should be uncoiled counterclockwise; S-twist ropes clockwise. Do not work directly under any rope in use. Always use protection pads at sharp edges. Follow splicing instructions carefully.
Storage & Care
Store ropes away from heat sources, direct sunlight, wind and rain, and corrosive chemical substances. Keep in a dry, well-ventilated environment. Water can reduce the strength of Nylon ropes and cause stiffening — store off the ground. Chemical fibre ropes should not be exposed to high temperatures which will degrade performance. Inspect regularly for any signs of wear, abrasion, or damage.
