Download Data SheetMega Max
Mega Max is double braid rope with a unique design that provides the ultimate in abrasion protection while still providing the highest strength possible, all in a Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMWPE) fiber construction.
The load bearing core is made of 12-strand Ultrex and provides 100% of the strength in this design. It is then over-braided and protected again by UHMWPE fiber, the most abrasion resistant fiber available.

Mega Max Specifications and Data
| Finished Diameter (Inches) | Core Diameter (Inches) | Average Spliced Break Strength *(Lbs) | Minimum Spliced Break Strength *(Lbs) | Maximum Working Load 5:1 **(Lbs) | Weight (Lbs/100f) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1-1/8 | 7/8 | 98,000 | 88,200 | 19,600 | 26.6 |
| 1-5/16 | 1 | 120,000 | 108,000 | 24,000 | 35.5 |
| 1-1/2 | 1-1/4 | 172,000 | 154,800 | 34,400 | 55.4 |
* Knots and abrupt bends significantly reduce the strength of all ropes and lower the maximum working load.
** Working load is based on static or moderately dynamic lifting/pulling operations. Instantaneous changes in load, up or down, in excess of 10% of the rope’s rated working load constitute hazardous shock load and would void the normal working-load recommendation. Consult Yale Cordage for guidelines for working loads and the safe use of rope.
Specific Gravity: 0.97
Dielectric Strength: The maximum allowable leakage for clean, dry Mega Max is 75 micro-amperes when tested at 100kV per Yale Method 712-1701 Rev 1 "Routine Production Test." Absorbed and entrained moisture or impurities will increase rope’s conductivity dramatically.
