Anyone sell 50mm rope?

[b101uk]

I am after a short 10m to 15m length of 50mm rope of a conventional three strand construction with relatively stretchy quality something like Nylon to act a little like KERR, I.e. to alivate shock loading that you would get from wire or HMPE etc when towing something.

 

Any clues?

no I haven’t tried any of the arb related places as it would not be normal for them to have it in stock I would have thought, so the chance of having some short off-cuts or reel ends from orders is slight.

Hi B101UK

 

Do you have a breaking strength in mind? Have you considered using a more static rope with a shock absorber built in.

Cheers

about ~40000kg to ~50000kg, its for towing with my Unimog other Unimog or other stuck things off-road were a towing poll is not practical or long enough or ware i need to generate a bit of KE.

 

also I am feed up with carrying my wire ropes!

Thats exactly where I would be trying our local Arb shop they have it by the meter, sad thing is they don't do mail order yet.
