Strength in Every Strand: The Importance of Fiber and Construction

New England Ropes combines the highest quality fibers with the most advanced construction technology. Every rope we manufacture acts as an integral component of a complex system, each with different performance requirements. Nylon, for example, is recognized for its outstanding strength, elasticity and abrasion resistance. It is an ideal fiber for dynamic climbing ropes due to its ability to arrest a potential fall. Polyester, on the other hand, has high strength and low stretch characteristics which are well suited for static applications where bounce and stretch are not desirable.

Continual innovation of our extensive designs ensures we manufacture the appropriate products to support all of your climbing applications.

Single Braid: A flexible, supple construction that absorbs twist and resists kinking. Construction used in MFP Throwline and Treeline.

Double Braid: A braided cover surrounds a braided core, producing a rope designed for strength, durability, shape and easy handling. Construction used in static and specialty ropes, including Water Rescue Rope, Polyester Double Braid and NFPA Throwline.

Parallel Core: A patented unidirectional fiber core with a braided cover, for a rope with lower stretch higher strength line than a double braid rope of equal size. Construction used in Tech Cord and PCRU.

3 Strand: Four-stage, balanced construction leveraged with an advanced stabilization process produces a durable, long lasting and flexible rope that wont harden with age. 3-strand rope is ideal for applications where grip, abrasion resistance and stretch are critical factors. Construction used in 3-Strand Safety Blue, 3-Strand Safety Blue Hi-Vee, 3 Strand Polyester, Filament Nylon and Multiline II and many of NE Ropes factory-spliced lanyards and fliplines.

Kernmantle: A braided jacket covers bundles of twisted, spring-like fibers. Designed to absorb energies generated by a fall, this rope is ideal for dynamic and static ropes that must remain firm and round, yet run freely through mechanical devices. Construction used in all of NE Ropes dynamic climbing ropes, specifically KM III, KMIII Max, Braided Safety Blue, Braided Safety Blue Hi Vee and Nylon Accessory Cords.
