Pelican Rope | Static Kernmantle Rope | GME Supply

Static kernmantle rope is a great rope for industrial applications. Here at GME Supply we pride ourselves in being Americaâ€™s premier rope supplier and this week our Gear ExpertsÂ® are going to talk about Pelican Static Kernmantle Rope.

Pelican Static Kernmantle

Pelican Ropeâ€™s static kernmantle is available in 3/8, 7/16, 1/2, and 5/8 inch diameters. Depending on the diameter there is also a range of colors to choose from. This rope features a durable, chemical resistant, polyester cover, over a nylon core. It provides great energy absorption while still being firm, yet flexible for tying knots or passing through a pulley. Pelican further strengthens this rope by steam setting the cover over the core to prevent slippage. Depending on the diameter it has an MBS (minimum breaking strength) of 6,400 pounds for the 3/8 inch all the way up to 13,000 pounds for the 5/8 inch. While kernmantle has a lot of benefits, it isnâ€™t the perfect rope for every application. If you need pulling rope for your capstan hoistÂ you will want to use double braid rope.

Knowledge is Power

What is kernmantle rope? Kernmantle consists of twisted parallel fibers surrounded by a tightly braided sheath. For more information on the different types of rope and how to find the perfect rope for the job at hand check out our Rope Buying Guide. Not only is it important to find the perfect rope, but it is important to frequently inspect your rope. Rope inspection ensures that your rope is safe to use when you take it out on the job. Most rope manufacturers include a rope inspection form with the rope. But, if your rope didnâ€™t come with one or you lost it, you can download one for free here from our knowledge base. For more information on ropeÂ inspection check out our Rope Inspection 101 blog post here. Last, but not least, is the importance of washing your rope. Rope wash can help extend the life of your rope and ensure that you and your crew are safe while on the job.
