Description
Typical static ropes are made on 16 - or 32 - carrier machines with less twist in the cover yarns. These ropes have a much coarser, bumpier hand, which exposes much of the yarn to abrasion causing early rope retirement.
Details
Sterling's unique sheath produces a rope with a more supple hand, making it easier to deploy during rescue operations.
The smoother sheath finish reduces vibration allowing for more control during lowering and extrication procedures. And, with the 48-carrier sheath, less yarn is exposed to abrasion, giving you a longer lasting rope. In addition, with less bulk in the sheath, Sterling can add more yarns to the core giving you a stronger rope.
