Skip the catalog. Tell the bench what the load is, where it's working, what the load looks like. We surface the construction with break strength, stretch, and weight on the same panel.
Pick application, environment, working load. The bench cross-references against ~640 active SKUs and surfaces the matched construction with its full pull-test history.
Construction follows the job. Braid, plait, twist.
UV, abrasion, chemicals dictate the fiber.
Working load + safety factor sets the diameter.
Each application has its own load profile, abrasion exposure, and acceptable stretch. The catalog is opinionated. Pick yours.
Permanent platform stationkeeping in deep water and storm conditions.
↗ 02Synthetic slings and pendant lines for rigging, hoisting, deck operations.
↗ 03High-energy escort lines built for snap-back resistance and jacket integrity.
↗ 04Climb lines, lowering ropes, and rigging cordage for production tree work.
↗ 05Stringing block lines and conductor pulling rope for transmission projects.
↗ 06MIL-SPEC mooring and replenishment-at-sea lines, traceable per pull-test.
↗ 07Static kernmantle and life-safety lines certified to NFPA 1983 standards.
↗ 08Trawl warps, longlines, and net cordage built to take saltwater abuse.
Every line pull-tested in Tacoma before it ships. Numbers below reflect minimum break load — not catalog claim. Same three constructions in the catalog for twenty-three years.
High-modulus polyethylene for offshore mooring and heavy industrial pulls.
32-carrier polyester double-braid for tug, towing, high-cycle deck use.
NFPA-rated life safety and rescue rope, low-stretch core for vertical work.
Every batch leaves Tacoma with a pull-test certificate. Every claim on a spec sheet is backed by the lot it shipped from. We publish the numbers we'd be willing to accept on a job.
Three things we won't compromise on. Numbered, audited, and inspected — published, not implied.
Every coil ships with the pull-test number it was destructively sampled against.
Talk to a working rigger. Splices, terminations, design factors reviewed before the order ships.
Quality system audited annually. Defense lines compliant with MIL-DTL-43511.
