Synthetic Extension Lines

Picture
Synthetic extension winch line from RimSling is a simple way to add more rope to your winch in order to reach out farther to whatever you are trying to recover. The extension includes a thimble to connect to your existing winch line, as well as a self-locking hook to connect to the casualty or other lashing point. Made from 12 strands of HDPE fiber, the single braid, kink-free synthetic line offers high strength and low stretch for long-term dependability.

RimSling’s synthetic extension rope carries the same properties as its new synthetic winch line, including an oriented white stripe for twist identification. The rope is easy to handle and can be rolled up and stored when not in use. Besides adding more line to your winch, this extension is also a great way to test out synthetic winch line without changing the steel line already on your drum. 

This extension is also lighter and safer to use than its steel counterpart. RimSling’s synthetic winch line weighs 1/7 of steel cable and is more flexible. The line is also light enough to float, making it ideal for water recoveries. Even if the strands are severed, the torque-free line will fall limp to the ground because it doesn’t store energy under tension, unlike steel cable. Synthetic line won’t fray, cause cuts and can be handled without gloves. The rope is also abrasion resistant and won’t scratch surfaces on the object being recovered.

Don’t be fooled by its low weight and flexibility. Synthetic extension line from RimSling is just as strong as steel winch line. The rope is available in three diameters—3/8”, 7/16” and 1/2"--and the Minimum Breaking Strength (MBS) varies by size. The rust-free line can be washed with soap water. A clean line is important to the longevity of the line and keeps it functioning as it should under daily use.

About

RimSling is a rigging/recovery product that was a result of trying to figure out how to attach to an aluminum rim that has small holes without resorting to over-stressing a smaller rated round sling. After having tried different materials over the years, none worked as well or were as slim as the synthetic RimSling while still maintaining a higher working load limit. With safety as our #1 concern for our customers and RimSling users, all RimSling products are certified by DNV and ABS. We hope to continue to spread the word about RimSling to all towing professionals, making their rigging and recovery situations easier and safer for all!
