Choosing a rope
Start with the job. Polyethylene and polypropylene rope are light and suit lashing and general tie-down work, and polypropylene floats. Sisal is a natural fibre rope that grips well and suits general use where you want a traditional feel. Kernmantle rope has a load-bearing core inside a protective sheath, and the Austlift kernmantle assemblies are listed for use in height safety systems.
Rope diameter and construction decide the strength, so check the size and the working load or breaking load for your rope. Keep rope away from sharp edges, heat and chemicals unless it is rated for them.
Always check the data sheet. Confirm the breaking strength, the intended use and whether the rope is rated for lifting or fall protection. Fibre rope is not for lifting loads unless it is rated for it, and fall protection equipment must be used within a complete, compatible system.

Rope FAQs
What is the difference between polyethylene and polypropylene rope?
Both are synthetic and light. Polypropylene floats and is used widely for general rope work, and polyethylene silver staple rope is a common choice for lashing and tie-down. Check the product for the diameter and strength you need.
What is kernmantle rope?
It is rope with a strong core (the kern) protected by a woven sheath (the mantle). We list an 11mm x 200m static rope and kernmantle assemblies with snap hooks.
Can I use these ropes for lifting?
Only if the product is rated for lifting. Fibre rope is mainly for lashing and general use. Check the data sheet for the rating and intended use.
Do you have rope for height safety work?
The Austlift kernmantle assemblies, anchor lines and temporary vertical anchorage line are listed for height safety systems. They must be used as part of a compatible system, so check the data sheet and call us if you need help putting one together.

Some listings are reels, such as the 125m silver staple rope. Others are sold in the lengths shown on the product. Call us on (02) 9773 0122 if you need a specific length.
