[treequip]

Need a rope identifying

 

I bought a length of this at a farm sale today

 

Its 20mm dia. it has a 16 strand jacket and an 8 pair strand core, its got a small green trace.

 

Any ideas?

Well the trace is a single strand on mine but it does feel a lot like Yale double esterlon, except I haven't seen that in white

Think it's Marlow

Spliced some strops up a while ago and rope so they could yark trees over with it

Certainly looked like that and was that diameter

Bob you are the man, and I should know better. Ed bought a full reel of this for a hideous Beech removal in Holmfirth.

 

Who would have thought Hade Edge farm sale would be the place to find a cheap rigging rope!

Don't think it's rigging rope

Believe it's static and designed for mooring boats up?

[Will Heal]

Is mooring rope ok for rigging?

Think about it haha

Certainly not ideal it all down to strength and elasticity

I am sure it would suffice but don't push your luck and a 16mm rigging rope would take more weight and be a lot nicer to use.

For pulling trees over it would likely be spot on

Rope construction is very complex and underestimated

Sure that is a rigging rope , that's what came as part of a rigging kit delivered to our firm . Can find out tomorrow what it is if need be .

As a guess I think it's a boat rope. I remember we used to climb on the smaller diameter boat ropes when I started. Sure it was grand!
