The higher strand count gives a rounder, denser braid than the usual 16-strand rope, so it handles better and resists flattening where it runs over an edge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSafe working load is 210 lb. against a breaking strength of 705 lb.

Safe working load is the figure you actually design to, well below that, and the gap covers shock, knots, wear and age.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes it float?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes. Polypropylene floats and does not take up water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I use it for towing or lifting?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo. Not for overhead lifting, and towing shock-loads a rope far past its rated figure. Use gear made for the job.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy 32-strand?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMore strands make a rounder, denser braid. It runs through hands and hardware better and holds its shape rather than flattening.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill knots weaken it?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes, and significantly. A knot can cost a third of the rope's strength, which is part of what the safe working load margin is there to cover.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"KINGCHAIN","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53151468945727,"sku":"342921BG","price":16.02,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0685\/4901\/7919\/files\/32strandsteel.jpg?v=1779900713","url":"https:\/\/griffbuildingsupplies.com\/products\/king-cord-1-2-x-50-32-strand-diamond-polypropylene-rope-342921bg","provider":"Griff Building Supplies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
