KMIII, White 1/2" (13mm) 10,000 lbs.

Built to the exacting EN1891 standard for static ropes, KM-III is the industry standard for rescue and rappelling operations. The polyester cover absorbs less water, has lower stretch, and is more abrasion resistant than the nylon covers found on some static ropes. The polyester cover and nylon core are balanced during manufacturing to attain the ultimate in performance.

• Applications for this life safety rope include rappelling, fixed rope applications, SRT, fall protection, work positioning, vertical lifelines, high lines, confined space rescue
• Polyester-over-nylon kernmantle construction
• Very little degradation from UV, and can be used over long term if inspected regularly
• Recommended sheave to rope diameter is 8:1
• SWL will depend on application and conditions; for life lines the tensile strength is typically divided by a safety factor of 10 to 15 to determine a starting value for SWL, which should then be adjusted according to conditions
