Vectrus
Data
Working load is based on static or moderately dynamic lifting/pulling operations. Instantaneous changes in load, up or down, in excess of 10% of line’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. Yalex is made to Yale Cordage Specification #YCI-VSB-009.
Vectrus™ is a single-braided rope of 100% Vectran (LCP, Liquid Crystal Polymer) with a Maxijacket coating to enhance abrasion resistance. LCP is more tolerant of tighter bending radii in terminations than other high-modulus fibers. Vectran LCP thrives at high loads and carries a four-to-one load rating. Vectrus is normally coated with clear Maxijacket urethane, enhancing its ultraviolet resistance, abrasion life, and snag resistance. LCP has no tendency to creep and makes an excellent synthetic rope sling. Specific Gravity: 1.44
