HMPE-core double braids

Model Maxibraid Plus, Ultrex Plus

Double-braided ropes with a load-bearing HMPE core and high-tenacity polyester sleeve; Maxibraid Plus has a thicker sleeve for high-wear applications.

Description

Yale's HMPE-core double braids combine a load-bearing High Modulus Polyethylene core with a polyester outer sleeve for abrasion protection.

Key features

  • Maxibraid Plus: inner load-bearing HMPE core with a polyester outer sleeve slightly thicker than Ultrex Plus, for more abrasion resistance in high-wear applications; also used in Yale's crane sling kits
  • Ultrex Plus: HMPE core treated with Maxijacket coating, sleeved with high-tenacity polyester
  • Ultrex Plus is spliceable with conventional high-modulus techniques or the Yale tuck splice, which shortens the bury and minimises the larger-diameter section

Applications

Working lines in high-wear service where the strength of HMPE must be protected by a polyester cover.
