FAQs
Is this rope suitable for climbing?
No. This rope is intended for general utility and securing loads. It is not rated for human climbing or life-safety applications.
Can I leave this rope outside indefinitely?
While the nylon material is durable, prolonged exposure to harsh UV rays and moisture will eventually weaken the fibers. For longevity, store it indoors when not in use.
What is the best way to cut this rope?
Use a sharp utility knife or scissors. We recommend melting the ends immediately after cutting to prevent fraying.
Does the rope stretch under load?
Nylon inherently has a small amount of elasticity, which can be useful for absorbing shock, but it should not be relied upon for applications requiring zero-stretch.
What does the 950 kg capacity represent?
This is the approximate maximum breaking load under ideal, static conditions. Always use a significant safety factor and do not exceed 50% of the maximum capacity for heavy loads.
Troubleshooting
Rope ends beginning to fray after cutting
Use a lighter to gently melt the nylon fibers at the cut end to seal them permanently.
Knots are too tight to untie
Use a marlinspike or a thin screwdriver to gently pry the knot loops apart rather than pulling against the tension.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin using your rope, ensure both ends are heat-sealed if cut to size to prevent unravelling. When tying, use reliable knots such as a bowline for loops or a taut-line hitch if adjustable tension is needed. For care, store the rope in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent UV degradation over long periods. If the rope becomes muddy or covered in debris, wash it with clean water and allow it to air dry completely before coiling. Avoid dragging the rope over sharp metal edges or rough concrete, as abrasion can significantly reduce its effective weight capacity.
