- 12-strand construction provides 23% elongation at 10% minimum breaking strength
- 300 ft spool length suits extended lifting and pulling tasks
- 160 lb working load limit supports general-purpose utility applications

General-purpose utility rope
This braided utility rope measures 5/16 inch in diameter and comes on a 300 foot spool. It is built with a 12-strand braided core using nylon and polyester materials. The construction suits general lifting and pulling tasks around the workshop or job site.
Sustained load behaviour
The rope carries a working load limit of 160 pounds and a breaking strength of 1,510 lbf. Under a 300 pound load the elongation reaches 36 percent, while at ten percent of minimum breaking strength it stretches 23 percent. This dynamic response helps absorb shock during extended pulls.
Installation notes
The spool format allows the rope to pay out cleanly without tangling during deployment. Both ends are plain cut so they must be whipped or knotted before critical use. Buyers who need factory-terminated eyes or thimbles will have to add those separately.

Questions about this item
Does the 12-strand braided construction generate heat or noise during extended pulling tasks?
The rope is a passive 12-strand braid of nylon and polyester with no moving parts, so it produces no heat or noise during continuous use.
What attachment hardware must I already own to connect the plain ends to a load?
The ends are plain-cut with no splices or thimbles, so you will need your own knots, shackles, carabiners or other terminations to secure a load.
Will the 23-percent elongation at 10-percent breaking strength feel very different from older natural-fibre ropes I still use?
Yes, the nylon-polyester blend stretches about 23 percent at light load and 36 percent at 300 lb, which is noticeably more elastic than traditional natural-fibre lines.
