Synthetic which line

This means that if something should go wrong and the rope breaks, it will harmlessly fall to the ground. Steel wire rope on the other hand, stores a tremendous amount of energy under load, and in the case of breakage, will violently snap back and whiplash.

This can cause serious injury to people involved in the winching procedure. Finally, there is the issue of weight. Synthetic winch lines are much lighter than their steel counterpart, which reduces the chance of strain and body fatigue when handling lines in winching procedures. This may not be as noticeable when using smaller diameter lines, but in applications that involve very heavy equipment, steel wire rope lines and extensions can weigh upwards of pounds and require multiple people to handle them.

This is a tremendous increase and allows for smaller diameter winch lines to be used when switching to synthetic, therefore increasing the amount of line that can be installed on the winch. Aside from the safety benefits mentioned above, this offers some obvious advantages.

All Master Pull winch lines are made with Dyneema Sk75 fiber ropes for superior strength and quality. We offer three different versions of winch lines of varying performance. The Basic Series winch line offers all the advantages of synthetic lines at an affordable price.

The line is made of genuine Dyneema fiber in a 12 strand open weave construction. This is a special process of heating and pre-stretching a larger diameter rope into a smaller diameter.

This gives the rope a very high breaking strength when compared to steel or other synthetic winch lines in the same diameter. The pre-stretching also makes the rope more dense, which helps prevent chafing materials, such as dirt and sand, from getting lodged in the strands of the rope, which over time will degrade performance of the line.

The overbraided cover makes it the most durable winch line available. When rigging a vehicle extraction, winch lines are subject to dirt and sand getting lodged in between fibers and strands of the line. These abrasive elements start to wear down the fibers of the rope, decreasing the performance and breaking strength of the line.
