Frequently Asked Questions
What is a multi braid rope used for?
Multi braid ropes are strong, flexible ropes commonly used for lifting, securing loads, DIY projects, camping, boating, and general workshop use. The braided construction provides improved durability and resistance to twisting compared to standard ropes.
What does Safe Working Load (SWL) mean?
The Safe Working Load (SWL) is the maximum weight that a rope can safely handle during normal use. For this rope, the SWL is 125 kg, meaning loads should not exceed this weight to ensure safe operation.
What is the difference between SWL and breaking strength?
Breaking strength refers to the maximum load the rope can withstand before failing, which is 500 kg for this rope. The Safe Working Load is lower to provide a safety margin during regular use.
Can this rope be used for lifting heavy equipment?
This rope can be used for light lifting tasks within the Safe Working Load of 125 kg. For heavier lifting or industrial lifting applications, specialised lifting slings or chains should be used.
How should I store rope to make it last longer?
Store rope in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight and chemicals. Avoid dragging it across rough surfaces and inspect it regularly for fraying or damage before use.
Where can I find more tools and workshop equipment?
