To assist you in choosing the best rope for your needs we have listed the various features and usage per rope type, but should you require further assistance our experienced staff are always happy to advise you.
Toco Lifting supplies synthetic and natural fibre rope across South Africa and the SADC region. Three strand hawser laid rope is supplied in manilla, sisal, cotton, polypropylene and nylon; braided ropes and cords include eight strand plaited, polyethylene braided, polyester braided yacht rope, cotton solid braid and sashcord, nylon cords and a range of twines. Each fibre has a different balance of strength, stretch, abrasion resistance, moisture absorption and chemical and UV resistance. Rope working load limits depend on material, construction and how the rope is used, so request the specification for the rope you need rather than working from a generic figure.
Toco Lifting (Pty) Ltd supplies synthetic and natural fibre rope to marine, fishing, construction, agriculture and general industry across South Africa and the SADC region.

Polypropylene, synthetic, abrasion, acid and UV resistant, low stretch, light, non absorbent and floats. Nylon, heat set synthetic, lightweight, elastic, abrasion resistant, shock absorbent with mould resistance. Used for safety belt lines and in shipping and fishing.

Two figures govern safe use of any rope. Breaking load is where the rope fails. Working load limit is the rated safe service load, calculated as breaking load divided by a safety factor that depends on the material, the construction and the application. Request the specification for the rope you are buying rather than working from a generic figure, and never exceed the rated working load limit.

It depends on the duty. Polypropylene is light, floats and resists acid and UV, which suits fishing and marine work. Nylon is elastic and shock absorbent, used for safety belt lines and shipping. Polyester braided holds up to UV with low stretch, used for marine and yachting. Manilla is a natural fibre with a firm grip used in pulley blocks, rope ladders and hawser applications. Tell the team the duty and environment.
Breaking load is where the rope physically fails. Working load limit is the rated safe service load, which is the breaking load divided by a safety factor. The correct factor depends on the material, the construction and the way the rope is used. Request the rope specification from Toco rather than working from a generic chart, and never exceed the rated working load limit.
Fibre rope is not a substitute for rated lifting tackle in overhead lifting. Where a load must be lifted and suspended, use a rated sling, chain or steel wire rope assembly supplied and certified for the purpose. Toco supplies both and will tell you which applies.
