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. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\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\u003ch5\u003eWhat our Experts
