Maxibraid Plus
Maxibraid Plus is a double-braided rope constructed of an inner load-bearing core of High Modulus Polyethylene (HMPE). The polyester outer sleeve is slightly thicker than Ultrex Plus, which would provide more abrasion resistance in high-wear applications
- Extraordinary strength, low elongation, and sleeve toughness deliver outstanding control
- Expertly engineered strength and elasticity specifications
- Superior wear life – 100% of load bearing capacity accomplished by the core alone
The HMPE core is coated with Yale’s Maxijacket coating prior to being over-braided, for added toughness. Yale has developed a special splice for larger sizes (3/4″ and larger), which incorporates a tucked core yet is covered as a conventional double braid. The advantage to this splice is no movement of the eye in service and a greatly shortened internal tail, making the rope more flexible and less prone to being damaged adjacent to the eye.

Maxibraid Plus Specifications and Data
* 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.
Specific Gravity: 1.18
Sstrong>Dielectric Strength: The maximum allowable leakage for clean, dry Maxibraid Plus is 100 micro-amperes when tested at 100kV per Yale Method 712-1701 Rev 1 "Routine Production Test." Absorbed and entrained moisture or impurities will increase rope’s conductivity dramatically.
