California Truck Rope 3/8 in x 100 ft
This three-strand twisted polypropylene rope is sold as California Truck Rope in a 100-foot length. It is identified by black construction with orange tracers for visibility. The line suits general utility, barrier and pulling tasks where a lightweight, floating rope is preferred. Buyers needing a higher working load or a non-floating line should consider other constructions.
Working load 459 lbs and buoyancy
The rope carries a working load of 459 lbs and does not stretch under tension. Its polypropylene fibres float in water and resist rot and mildew, making it practical for pool barriers, marine tie-off or electrical pulling jobs. It runs out of capacity when loads exceed the rated figure or when sustained abrasion cuts the strands. Users who require a load rating above 459 lbs must select a different diameter or material.
Polypropylene construction limits
The material floats and resists water-borne decay, yet it degrades under prolonged ultraviolet exposure and can melt under friction heat. The three-strand twist offers spliceable ends but lacks the abrasion resistance of braided jackets. It is unsuitable for critical life-safety lines or applications demanding minimal elongation under shock loading. Buyers who need UV-stable or heat-resistant performance should choose an alternative fibre.

Questions about this item
Will the 3/8 in diameter and 459 lbs working load let me keep using my existing 3/8 in pulleys and cleats?
Yes — the rope is 3/8 in thick and rated for a 459 lbs working load, so it fits standard 3/8 in hardware and stays within that load limit.
How can I confirm the polypro construction is performing correctly after I rig it?
The rope should float in water, show no stretch under tension, and the black cover with orange tracers should remain free of rot or mildew over time.
Does the 100 ft coil include any splices, thimbles or hooks, or must I buy them separately?
The coil is supplied as plain 3-strand twisted polypro rope only; splices, thimbles, hooks or other terminations are not included and must be purchased separately.
