What this is

12-strand braided UHMWPE — replaced as winch / tow rope

A torque-free, floatable alternative to steel winch cable. The 12-strand braid gives high strength at a smaller diameter and absorbs little length under load — a static pulling line, not a kinetic rope. Sold as OEM or custom-manufactured to your specification.

How to specify it

The numbers that decide the build.

  1. Required breaking load per diameter
  2. Required diameter range
  3. Length per drum or total quantity
  4. Coating type and color
  5. Winch capacity / vehicle GVWR
  6. Quantity and destination

What the supplier will propose

The supplier will propose the diameter from the required breaking load, the drum length and coating from the end use, and the packaging from your destination and freight terms. Your job is to send the required load, the vehicle winch capacity and the quantity so the quotation reflects the build you need.

Breaking Load, Safety Factor and Working Load — What the Numbers Mean

The difference between breaking load, working load and safe working load, why every cordage supplier is reluctant to publish a 'safe' number, and what the right question is to ask.

How to Choose Rope Diameter (Without a Strength Table)

Diameter is about handling, hardware fit and abrasion allowance as much as strength. Practical diameter ranges by job — and why 'thicker' is not always 'safer'.
