Cargo Control
Natural fibre rope made from Philippine abaca, three-strand laid. It grips well, holds a knot, is easy on the hands and does not stretch much — which is why it is still the rope of choice for hand lines, tag lines, barriers and general yard work.
It is a natural fibre, so it rots. Manila loses strength when it is stored wet, and it goes on losing it quietly where you cannot see the damage from outside. Dry it before you coil it, keep it off concrete floors, and open the lay to look inside when you inspect it.

This is utility and pulling rope. None of it is rated for overhead lifting — if the job is a lift rather than a pull or a tie-down, call us and we will put you on a rated sling instead. Cut to length from the reel in Hatfield.
Looking after a rope
Retire it when
- The outer fibres are cut, pulled or badly fuzzed
- There is a soft spot, a flat spot, or a change in diameter
- The lay has opened up or the braid has picked
- It has been shock loaded or run over
- It is glazed, melted or discoloured by heat or chemicals
- A natural fibre rope smells of mildew or powders inside
In service
- Keep it off sharp edges and use a sleeve where you cannot
- Never stand in line with a rope under tension
- Knots cut the strength of a rope, often by half
- Coil it, do not kink it, and store it dry and out of the sun
- Never use it overhead as a sling
