Beaver Truckers Silver Lashing Rope, 10 mm x 10 m Hank, 9.26 kN MBF (347010HC)

The Beaver Truckers silver lashing rope is a three strand polyethylene rope, UV treated, supplied in hanks with a white coil and a black and yellow external tracer (manufacturer-stated). This listing carries three codes: 347010HC (10 mm, 10 m hanks), 347010HD (10 mm, 12 m hanks) and 347012HD (12 mm, 12 m hanks), each in cartons of 10 hanks (manufacturer-stated). Beaver states the rope is made to AS 4142.2 (manufacturer-stated).

Beaver says the black and yellow external tracers identify the Beaver Truckers rope (manufacturer-stated). It describes silver rope as resistant to oil, petrol, acid, rot, mildew, sunlight and weathering, floating, able to be stored wet, and suitable for tying down loads on trucks and trailers and for farm use (manufacturer-stated). Beaver supplies this rope in full cartons only (manufacturer-stated). Beaver describes this rope for tying down and general purpose use, not for lifting.

Beaver publishes minimum breaking force (MBF) for this rope, not a working load limit or lashing capacity. MBF is the lowest force at which a new rope of that size is expected to break, so it is not a safe working load. Beaver's general notes on synthetic rope say it breaks without warning, and that knots can fuse together when put under load, so friction between synthetic ropes should be avoided (manufacturer-stated). Do not use this rope to lift or suspend loads.

Rope care notes from Beaver

• Synthetic rope breaks without warning, even though its breaking strength stays constant when wet (manufacturer-stated)
• Avoid friction or synthetic ropes binding against each other, as knots can fuse together when put under load (manufacturer-stated)
• Rope ends can be heat sealed to prevent the strands unlaying (manufacturer-stated)

Rope material notes from Beaver

• Polyethylene rope floats on water (specific gravity 0.93) and its tensile strength remains the same dry or wet (manufacturer-stated)
• Polyethylene rope softens progressively with a rise in temperature; Beaver lists a melting point of 135 degrees C and resistance to short term heat of 70 degrees C (manufacturer-stated)
• Beaver rates the ultraviolet resistance of polyethylene rope as fair and describes it as low in strength compared with other synthetic fibre rope (manufacturer-stated)

Key specifications

Figures are from Beaver's Materials Handling Technical Manual (Vol. 4) and data sheets, which agree for these codes. Beaver supplies this rope in full cartons only, with 10 hanks per carton, and publishes no weight and no working load limit. AIMS records show each variant is sold as one carton of 10 hanks.

Selecting the right option

Choose the diameter from the minimum breaking force you need, allowing a margin that suits your load restraint plan, and the hank length to suit the load. AIMS records show each variant is sold as one carton of 10 hanks, so a 10 m hank carton holds 100 m of rope in total and a 12 m hank carton holds 120 m (AIMS arithmetic). If you need a single coil of longer rope, see the silver staple rope coils.
