PE-12
PE-12™ has been recently re-engineered boosting its strengths significantly. Using the same high tenacity fiber we use in our value packed Portland Braid, this high tenacity polyester single braid offers a single end per carrier construction which keeps the rope from flattening out in service and self centers in sheaves beautifully. PE-12 comes with the same tough grades of Maxijacket urethane we use on our more expensive products. PE-12 is easy to splice and field repairs are easily accomplished. It is available in unlimited lengths and brilliant colors for easy identification. PE-12 is torque free and is undamaged when rigging with swivels.

* Knots and abrupt bends significantly reduce the strength of all ropes and lowers the maximum working load.
** Working load is based on static or moderately dynamic lifting/pulling operations. Instant changes in load up or down in excess of 10% of the rope's rated working load constitutes hazardous shock load and would void normal working load recommendation. Consult Yale Cordage for guidelines for working loads and safe use of rope.
