Its double-braided construction makes it durable and features low stretch for increased safety. Its low cost and resistance to abrasion make it a good choice for using with our capstan winches, where it is subject to friction and intense heat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSplices with galvanized steel thimble are available on this rope. They provide protection against wear caused by carabiners, shackles and hooks attached at the end of the rope. In addition, a splice maintains almost 100% of the rope capacity, unlike a knot, which reduces its capacity by at least 30%.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSplices at both ends of the rope also allow it to be flipped over from time to time so it wears out evenly on its entire length.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHighly recommended for all lifting operations.
