Red braided synthetic rope with frayed end showing individual fiber strands in detail

Cortland Toro™ 12 Strand Rope

Toro™ is a 12 Strand braided rope with high strength-to-weight ratio and, size-for-size, offers the same strength as steel.

Toro 12 strand is manufactured from High Modulus Polyethylene (HMPE) and is an excellent wire rope replacement with low stretch, superior flex fatigue and wear resistance.

Toro 12 strand is delivered standard with a polyurethane finish and is easily spliced using a simple lockstitch type splice, 4-3-2 or 5-4-3 tuck splice. Its soft, torque free braided construction provides easy handling and inspection.

Tensile Strengths are determined in accordance with Cordage Institute CI 1500-02. Test Methods for Fiber Rope. Minimum Tensile Strength (MTS) published assumes spliced eye terminations at each end of the rope. Weights actually calculated at linear density under stated preload (200d2) plus 4%. Diameter and circumference size published is nominal and reflects rope size after loading (10 cycles) to 50% of MTS. See reverse side for application and safety information.
