horntools Synthetic Rope for Winches 5 mm & 2300 kg

In winch operation, horntools synthetic ropes are characterized by an extremely low weight. With a 4-ton winch system, you save approx. 10 kg in weight that you carry around in front of the axle year after year. Safety: Safety is another point that comes into play with synthetic fiber ropes. If the rope breaks, it doesn't spring back like a steel rope, which can cause severe injuries. Rope guide: Recovery winches installed in cars and all-wheel-drive vehicles usually do not have a rope guide. Without a rope guide, it is pre-programmed that the ropes are not wound correctly, i.e., they overlap. With a steel rope, this can lead to a strand break inside the rope. Synthetic ropes are much less sensitive here. Heat sensitivity: Of course, there is no advantage without a disadvantage - synthetic ropes are very sensitive to heat, which particularly affects electric winches that have a brake in the rope drum. The electric motor and also the drum brake heat up. That's why our ropes have heat protection for the first rope layer, which absorbs a lot. Care: Care is very important for synthetic fiber ropes. We offer an impregnation that not only keeps the rope flexible but also prevents water and dust from penetrating. The impregnation lubricates the outside of the rope and thus ensures less friction. Water can become a problem if it freezes, then the rope breaks very easily. Dust and dirt get stuck in the rope and abrade the material over time. Do not put your synthetic fiber ropes in the washing machine and do not wash them under extreme pressure with a high-pressure cleaner. This leads to a weakening of the fibers. Datasheet.
