Where steel ropes are too stiff and chains too heavy: Textile ropes are the light, manageable and flexible option for long connections.
The different demands placed on a rope, depending on its intended service application, are served by a wide range of materials and types. The most suitable rope will optimally combine the physical properties of its constituents to provide anything from high tensile strength, flex stability and high abrasion resistance to dimensional stability, high dynamic strength and elasticity.
