New England Ropes 1/2" x 150' KMIII Static - Red
New England Ropes KM III is an exceptional static rope for rappelling, caving, rescue, fixed rope applications, hauling, and life safety applications. New England Ropes' unique polyester sheath differentiates KM III from other static ropes. Polyester absorbs less moisture, is a lower stretch fiber, and more abrasion resistant than Nylon. The polyester sheath is balanced with a Nylon core to limit rotation. KM III is NFPA and CE approved. This is the most durable static rope available with the handling and knotability you expect from New England Ropes.Available in White, Red, Blue, Safety Orange, and Black

| WORKING LOADS: No blanket working load recommendation can be made because it depends on the application and conditions of use, especially potential danger to personnel. It is recommended that the user establish working loads and safety factors based on professional and experienced assessments of risks. The working load is a guideline for the use of a rope in good condition for non-critical applications and should be reduced where life, limb, or valuable property is involved, or exceptional service such as shock, sustained loading, severe vibration, etc. The Cordage Institute specifies that the Safe Working Load of a rope shall be determined by dividing the Minimum Tensile Strength by the Safety Factor. Safety factors range from 5 to 12 for non-critical uses, 15 for life lines. SLK= Minimum Break Strength / Safety Factor | |||
Rope color is red.
