Tow Rope

About these products High tensile strength for off-road and forestry applications: Choose between galvanized steel wire rope in 3/8" with a breaking strength of 67.6 kN and lightweight HMPE ropes in 1/4", 3/8", and 1/2" with up to 142.3 kN. The steel rope has a 7x7 construction with 6 strands around a core and boasts high abrasion resistance for tough rescues on rock or edges. Reliable hook solutions: The JLGS9.5-15, -23, and -30 steel ropes come with a forged, self-closing, 360° rotating, powder-coated swivel hook and are rated for a breaking strength of 93.4 kN. The HMPE JLWR ropes feature robust steel ram's horn hooks with a pull loop for a cool grip. Some sets include Thoughtful end protection details: All ropes end with a 6' (1.8 m) orange warning sleeve, providing early warning of the drum's reserve. The synthetic versions also start with a 5' (1.5 m) nylon protective sleeve to prevent chafing on the fairlead and edges. Steel ropes are hot-dip galvanized for improved corrosion and abrasion protection and keep hands cleaner during operation than oiled wires. Easy installation and handling: The 4-step setup is quick and easy – attach, thread, wind, and tension. Synthetic ropes save weight on the front of the vehicle, facilitate pulling on slopes, and reduce inertia on the drum. Steel ropes offer a robust outer layer and are resistant to heat and dirt. The 3/8" package is designed for typical 9,500–13,500 lb winches on SUV pickups or forestry winches. The 1/2" HMPE is rated for up to 18,000 lbs and is suitable for heavy recovery and work winches. The 1/4" HMPE is ideal for ATVs and UTVs with 3,500–4,500 lbs. This allows off-roaders, service providers, and forestry companies to find the perfect lengths (50", 75", 85", 92", and 100") as well as materials for off-road use in sand, snow, skidding, or industrial applications, all while maintaining a manageable package size. Key Differences JLGS 3/8" steel cables are hot-dip galvanized, constructed with a 7x7 gauge, and offer a breaking strength of 67.6 kN with a self-closing swivel hook and a 1.8 m warning strip. Available in lengths of 50", 75", and 100". JLWR HMPE ropes are PU-coated for increased buoyancy and offer breaking strengths of 44.5 kN, 117.9 kN, or 142.3 kN, depending on the diameter. They come with a ram's horn hook, plus 1.5 m of protective sheathing and 1.8 m of warning sheathing. The 1/4" set also includes a shock absorber. For 3500–4500 lbs, 1/4" HMPE is suitable; for 9500–13500 lbs, 3/8" steel; and for up to 18000 lbs, 1/2" HMPE.
