Product Information
Full details
This VidaXL Work Rope is designed for general-purpose use across household, garden, and workshop applications, offering durability and ease of handling. Its primary benefit is its robust polypropylene construction, which is UV and weather-resistant for long-lasting performance. A potential caveat is its specific breaking strength, which may not be suitable for heavy-duty industrial lifting.

FAQs
What is the primary material of this work rope?
The rope is made from durable polypropylene.
Is this rope suitable for lifting heavy objects?
While the rope has a breaking strength of 360 kg, it is intended for general use. For critical lifting applications, always consult its working load limit (72 kg) and consider ropes specifically rated for such tasks.
Can this rope be used in saltwater?
Yes, the rope is waterproof and suitable for use in various water environments, including saltwater, as it floats and resists degradation from moisture.
How resistant is the rope to sunlight?
The rope is UV-resistant, which helps it maintain its strength and color when exposed to sunlight over time.
What is the diameter and length of the rope?
The rope has a diameter of 8 mm and a total length of 100 meters.
How should I maintain the rope for longevity?
Clean with mild soap and cool water, allow it to air dry completely, and store it loosely coiled in a dry, shaded area away from extreme temperatures.
What is the weight of the rope per meter?
The rope weighs approximately 24 grams per meter.
Troubleshooting
Rope is stiff or difficult to knot
Ensure the rope is not excessively wet or dirty. Sometimes, working the rope a bit can help it become more pliable. For knot-tying, ensure you are using a knot appropriate for polypropylene rope.
Rope shows signs of wear after limited use
Inspect for potential abrasion points where the rope is being used. Ensure the rope is not rubbing against sharp edges. If excessive wear is noted, consider if the application exceeds the rope's intended general-purpose use or if a stronger rope material is needed.
Rope floats but tangles easily
When not in use, coil the rope neatly rather than leaving it in a jumbled mass. Use a rope bag or storage container to keep it organized and prevent tangling.

Care:
