Choosing your Synthetic Rope
Choosing the correct Armortek Synthetic Rope for your winch is straight forward. We have compiled this list to help you decide on the right rope for you.
Size of your winch
Rope Strength and Winch Strength
The most important factor when choosing your synthetic rope will be your winch's size / rated pulling capacity. Match the rope’s breaking strength to at least 1.5 times the winch’s rated capacity - we recommend you use our rope selector as this allows for an important safety margin.
