Larger HMPE Brait
Larger plaited High Modulus Polyethylene (HMPE) Brait. HMPE fiber is one of the strongest fibers known and is very low elongating. The geometry of the plaited HMPE allows more substantial dynamic loads to be imparted on the rope without compromising its longevity.
Our other larger diameter ropes are Larger Nylon Brait and Larger Polyester Brait.

* Knots and abrupt bends significantly reduce the strength of all ropes and lower the maximum working load.
** Working load is based on static or moderately dynamic lifting/pulling operations. Instantaneous changes in load, up or down, in excess of 10% of the rope’s rated working load constitute hazardous shock load and would void the normal working-load recommendation. Consult Yale Cordage for guidelines for working loads and the safe use of rope.
