Pytania:
  • What are the main advantages of using UHMWPE rope over wire rope?
    UHMWPE rope is significantly lighter (1/7th the weight of wire), safer (breaks linearly), and offers superior UV and chemical resistance. It also reduces mooring times and costs while providing high strength and low stretch.
  • Is the UHMWPE rope suitable for all marine applications?
    This rope is ideal for mooring and tug assist lines but is not recommended for use on H-bitts, capstans, or cleats if surging or rendering is required. Always check specific application requirements.
  • What customization options are available for the UHMWPE rope?
    The rope is available in standard colors (red, yellow, blue) and can be customized. Additional sizes and lengths can be ordered, and ends can be eye spliced as needed.
