AmSteel-Blue Synthetic Rope is a proven alternative to steel cables and steel winch lines. Size-for-size, AmSteel-Blue is the same strength as steel wire rope - yet it floats! These 12-strand, single braid winch lines yield the maximum in strength-to-weight ratio and are torque free. Meaning attachment hardware with a swivel is not necessary. AmSteel-Blue has extremely limited stretching - only 1% at full WLL (4:1). Also, AmSteel-Blue Rope has superior flex fatigue and is abrasion resistant. When compared to steel cables, AmSteel-Blue Winch Line Extensions are a fraction of the weight. For example, a 3/4 " x 100' steel cable weighs 100 lbs while an AmSteel-Blue rope with the same dimensions only weighs 13.3 lbs - almost 8 times lighter! Just think about how much easier the handling of the synthetic Amsteel-Blue is for your operators verses a steel cable. Also, it drastically cuts down on the overall weight of your truck - especially heavy duty rotator wreckers which have up to 5 to 6 winches!
