If you work in an industry that uses rope often to help you complete a number of different tasks, you’ve probably heard about HPME rope. I personally do not work in an industry that comes into contact with rope on a daily basis. That’s why I was thankful to The Rope Guru for educating me about this type of rope and number of others. The Rope Guru has years of experience working for and with rope manufacturers. With a direct interest in the safety aspects of rope. Hence why he backs the HPME rope to adamantly.
After spending some time talking to the owner of The Rope Guru I learned a lot about HPME rope. For one, the name of this rope comes from it’s material, high modulus polyethylene. This type of material is used in a number of different type of ropes. Another name for HMPE rope is ultra high molecular weight polyethylene. What makes this type of rope so popular is it’s wide range of durability and performance. It’s durability and performance properties depending on the grade and fiber make up. It is important to keep in mind that not all HMPE rope are created the same. Studies have been conducted demonstrating the importance to pat attention to specific design factors. So although you might know you want HMPE rope. It might be wise to talk to The Rope Guru himself. To get his opinion on exactly what HMPE rope you need for your specific job.
As mentioned above the design of the HMPE rope you choose plays an important role in the performance and life of your rope. Jamie, The Rope Guru is eager and always willing to answer any questions you might have. His years working in the industry make him a great candidate for knowing the answer to almost any question!
