Beaver Sisal Rope, 6 mm x 250 m Coil, 2.55 kN MBF (347606)

The Beaver sisal rope is made from natural staple fibres with a three strand twisted construction, natural colour (manufacturer-stated). This listing carries eight codes from 6 mm to 24 mm, mostly on 250 m coils, with 347610A on a 125 m reel (manufacturer-stated). Beaver says the exposed fibre ends give it the ability to hold knots (manufacturer-stated). Beaver states the rope is made to AS 4142.2 (manufacturer-stated).

Beaver says sisal rope is biodegradable but has a natural resistance to sunlight and weather that allows a reasonably long life in external applications, and describes it for tying down loads on trailers and trucks, for farm use and for camping (manufacturer-stated). Beaver supplies it in full coils or full flanged reels 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. 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. Do not use this rope to lift or suspend loads.

Key specifications

Figures are from Beaver's Materials Handling Technical Manual (Vol. 4) and data sheets, which agree for these codes. Beaver's heading for 347610A is full flanged reels only, 125 m. Beaver also lists sisal rope in other diameters and lengths, including 125 m reels in other sizes. Beaver publishes no weight and no working load limit.

Selecting the right option

Choose the diameter from the minimum breaking force you need, allowing a margin that suits your use, then the length: 250 m coils, or 125 m for 347610A. Beaver supplies sisal in full coils or reels only. Sisal is a natural fibre and Beaver describes it as biodegradable, so inspect it before each use.
