| Many uses of rope involve serious risk of injury to personnel or damage to | ||||
| valuable property. This danger is often obvious, as when a heavy load is | ||||
| supported above one or more workmen. An equally dangerous situation | ||||
| occurs if personnel are in line with a rope under excessive tension. Should | ||||
| the rope fail, it may recoil with considerable force - especially if the rope | ||||
| is nylon. Persons should be warned against standing in line with the rope. In | ||||
| all cases where any such risks are present, or there is any question about | ||||
| the loads involved or the conditions of use, the working load should be | ||||
| substantially reduced and the rope properly inspected. | ||||
| NOTE: Lb/600ft. Shown are average figures with a variation of +/- 5% of | ||||

| New rope tensile strengths are based on tests of new rope, tested according | ||||
| to Cordage Institute specifications - that is, a straight tensile test at slow speed | ||||
| using eye-spliced test pieces. |
Columbian Non-Revolving Ski-Tow Rope
SPECIALLY DESIGNED FOR ROPE TOW SKI AREAS
Safety is a key requirement in ski tow ropes. The natural tendency of ropes to revolve under tension introduces an element of danger in standard lay construction ropes. A revolving rope can catch gloves, parkas, sweaters and scarves. Columbian’s ski tow ropes in 8-strand construction are specially constructed to offer a non-revolving line. The special construction offers high resistance to the severe abrasive wear of dragging over snow and ice in addition to the non-revolving factor. Columbian’s PD110 is truly the finest fiber ski tow rope. White in color, a combination of polyester and polyethylene filament gives light weight, long wear, excellent abrasive resistance and low external and internal wear. It will not fuse on the sheaves nor freeze-up. It is rot proof. Order in required lengths in either 1” or 1 1/8” diameter.
