| * Knots and abrupt bends significantly reduce the strength of all ropes and lower maximum working load. ** Working load is based on static or moderately dyanmic lifting/pulling operations. Instantaneous changes in load, up or down, in excess or 10% of the rope’s related 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. |
