Our U.S. Made Synthetic Winchrope is made from UHMPE (Ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene) fiber. At a fraction the weight of steel cable (less than 1/6), it is impressively up to 35% stronger. This makes our U.S. Made Synthetic winchrope more convenient and safer than conventional steel wire cable. Synthetic winchrope is easy to handle and also floats on water. Not stiff like cable, it won't get all wound-up (like cable) when unspooled. It can't develop sharp frays, and it doesn't conduct electricity or heat (won't freeze your hands in winter). It won't rust, doesn't kink, doesn't recoil, doesn't stretch, and consequently doesn't store energy, so in the event of exceeding the high strength rating, if it breaks, synthetic winchrope has minimal snapback. Synthetic fiber rope is the latest development of UHMPE fiber in a twelve-strand braided rope utilizing Parallay design with proprietary urethane coating. Synthetic winch rope was introduced to the off-road vehicle markets in the 1990?s. It rapidly became a must-have accessory for both hard-core rockcrawlers and off-road enthusiasts.
