Static Rope for pulling

[NickinMids]

Hi

 

Think I've finally killed off my rigging/pulling rope.  Its a few years old (12mm) and has served well.

 

Considering buying a thicker lowering rope but when pulling things over I'm thinking a basic static rope would be better and would probably mean that I don't

destroy an expenisve rigging rope as quickly

 

Any thoughts and ideas of where/what to buy

 

Thanks

Any static line will serve fine.  Personally I like something semi dynamic especially if tensioning it.  The stored energy in the rope can make a lot of difference to the pull.

 

One of the companies I used to climb for used to use some black kevlar rope which was static and pretty indestructible, not sure where they got it from though sorry.

Maybe something like this

The lowest stretch possible in a Polyester fibre rope due to the zero constructional stretch of its parallel fibre core. Gleistein Cup is as good as it gets in traditional fibres.

Very low elasticity only 1.4% at 10% breakload and 5.3% at 50 % breakload.

• Core of parallel HT continuous filament Polyester with an inner braided sheath of coarse synthetic fibre (8 mm diameter and above) binds the core yarns.
• Outer cover of HT continuous filament Polyester
• With its compact durable construction Gleistein Cup becomes more flexible in use
• Very high life expectancy with no creep
• Universal rope ideal for Halyards, Up/Downhauls, Reefing Lines, Vang and Cunningham and any other use where low stretch is essential.

i'd like to add to this.  Don't overlook your local chandlers when shopping.  Theres some great working ropes stocked by these places that have been overlooked by arb suppliers.  I get all my rigging ropes and hitch cords this way.  Hitch cord about £1.40 per meter and better than any of the overpriced(heat resistant) cords out there

Large pull rope I use is a 50m 25mm polysteel rope I bought of EBay, it only down side its heavy.

Wow ! , must be about 30 kilos in weight.

 Sirius 12mm is pretty tough for the money. Should be able to get 50m for £80 or close. From memory its got a breaking strain of well over 3 tonne

I would buy 60 meters , if need be double the rope for extra breaking strain.

@woody Paul and @White Noise, how does Polysteel knot and handle?
