Armortek’s synthetic rope is made from HMPE lightweight fibre, which offers high tensile strength. The rope undergoes a unique pre-stretching process during manufacture and is coated with a special Armortek abrasion-resistant finish, which gives the rope its renowned durability and service life. The rope is red in colour, but is also available in black as part of the Black Edition range, and comes complete with swivels and hooks. These ropes are pre-fitted to most Warrior Winches models and can be purchased to replace an existing rope or to switch from steel to synthetic – regardless of the winch make.
The rope is UV-resistant, and its performance is not affected by oil, water, cold, damp or dry conditions.
Another advantage of Armortek’s synthetic ropes is that they stretch very little (max 3–4 per cent). This means they do not store energy, so they will not snap back even if they happen to break.
