Product Information

Full details

This VidaXL Work Rope is designed for general use across home, garden, and workshop projects. Its key benefit is its durable, UV-resistant, and weather-resistant polypropylene construction, offering long-time use and improved handling. A minor caveat is that while it floats, its primary design is for terrestrial applications rather than extensive marine use. Key features include its robust material, ease of knot tying, reduced slippage, and suitability for both wet and dry conditions.

FAQs

What is the primary material of this rope?

The rope is made from durable polypropylene (PP).

Is this rope suitable for heavy-duty lifting?

This rope is designed for general use. While it has a good breaking strength (1380 kg), it is not intended for critical or heavy-duty lifting applications where failure could cause injury or significant damage.

Can I use this rope for marine applications?

Yes, the rope is waterproof and floats, making it suitable for some marine tasks like marking areas or general utility around boats. However, for safety-critical marine uses, specialized marine-grade ropes are recommended.

How do I clean the rope if it gets dirty?

You can clean the rope with mild soap and cool water. Rinse it thoroughly and let it air dry completely before storing.

What are the dimensions of the rope?

The rope has a diameter of 16 mm and comes in a length of 50 meters.

Will this rope shrink when wet?

Polypropylene ropes generally do not shrink significantly when wet.

What is the working strength of the rope?

The recommended working strength is 276 kg, which is 20% of its breaking strength.

Troubleshooting

Rope feels stiff or difficult to knot.

Ensure the rope is not excessively old or has been stored improperly. If new, stiffness may reduce with use. Consider specific knotting techniques for stiffer ropes.

Slippage during use.

While designed to reduce slippage, very smooth surfaces or specific loads might still cause it. Ensure knots are tied correctly and tightened securely. For critical applications, consider specialized rope or additional securing methods.

Rope appears faded or brittle after outdoor use.

Although UV resistant, prolonged extreme exposure can eventually degrade any material. Store the rope indoors when not in active use to maximize its lifespan. Inspect for damage and replace if brittleness is significant.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable and long-lasting material
  • Resistant to UV rays and weather
  • Easy to handle and tie knots
  • Waterproof and floats on water
  • Versatile for indoor and outdoor use

Cons

  • Primarily designed for general use, not heavy-duty industrial applications
  • Breaking strength may not be sufficient for critical load-bearing tasks
  • Specific weight per meter (92 g) might be a consideration for very lightweight projects

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This rope requires no setup; it is ready for immediate use upon unspooling. Cut to the desired length using sharp shears or a knife.

Compatibility: Compatible with standard knots and can be used with various hardware like carabiners or eyelets, provided they match the rope's 16 mm diameter.

Care: To maintain the rope's condition:

  1. Storage: Store in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures when not in use.
  2. Cleaning: If the rope becomes dirty, wash it with mild soap and cool water. Rinse thoroughly and allow it to air dry completely before storing. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  3. Inspection: Periodically inspect the rope for signs of wear, fraying, or damage. Discontinue use if significant wear is observed.
