Sterling Rope's full line of static ropes have been engineered to the highest standards and meet and exceed the industry standards for strength, durability, and performance. Rescue trainers, fire personnel, industrial safety contractors and climbers worldwide in real world applications have vigorously tested these static ropes. Lastly, yet equally important, is that all static ropes have proven themselves to be of the highest quality and performance level in the industry today. Big wall and expedition climbers, photographers, and riggers know that low elongation, high strength static rope is better suited than dynamic rope for fixing, jumaring and hauling. Guides, outdoor recreation programs, and ropes courses also have found that static ropes are ideal for top-ropes and various course elements because of their durability and low stretch features. Sterling offers two types of static ropes thereby insuring you have the right rope for each intended application.
Under Static Ropes, you'll find:
High Tenacity Polyester Static Ropes
This 100% all-polyester rope is another example of Sterling vision and innovation. HTP™ Static offers climbers, cavers, and other recreational enthusiasts significant advantages over using standard nylon static ropes in certain recreation situations. Activities such as hauling, jumaring, and rappelling are more efficient with a low elongation rope. HTP, with its less than 1% stretch per 300-pound load, makes these activities far more time and effort efficient. HTP provides better UV resistance, which is critical for glacier travel, expeditions, and big walls where ropes are exposed to ultra-violet light (UV), for long periods of time. Lastly, it retains its suppleness and smooth handling far longer than traditional static ropes, even after repeated use. Since HTP Static is a naturally dry product, your ropes will always stay dry. This maintains performance, strength, and elongation characteristics. Sterling's 5/16" and 3/8" provide high strength and low stretch, ideal for lightweight fixing and hauling/tag lines. The 7/16" larger diameter is better suited for climbing situations where there will be excessive amounts of heavy jumaring, hauling, and high exposure to sharp rock. HTP Static is also available in 1/2" and 5/8". However because of their size and extra weight, they are better suited for tower construction, short haul helicopter rescue, high angle technical rescue, and industrial safety applications.
Warning: HTP should never be used in situations where any potential for shock-loading (such as a fall) may occur. It will result in very high impact forces. In these situations, a nylon static or dynamic rope would be more appropriate.
SuperStatic™ Nylon Static Ropes
This unique low stretch rope revolutionized static rope 12 years ago and is now a time-tested proven winner. Sterling’s Better Braid Technology rope construction provides a supple, durable sheath without the bulk. Each rope is easy to knot, provides smoother rappels and will not become stiff after repeated use. SuperStatic is available in diameters from 9mm to 16mm. Our 7/16" and 1/2" statics offer our unique 48-carrier sheath construction. For climbing related applications, the 3/8" and 7/16" are most commonly used. The 3/8" is ideal for fixing, hauling, rappelling, and top-roping, all of which require a lightweight, smaller diameter, low stretch rope. For big wall climbs and expeditions where there are severe objective dangers, long sections of sharp rock, or extreme amounts of hauling, jugging, and rappelling, the 716" SuperStatic provides higher tensile strength and better abrasion resistance. Rounding out the series are our 1/2", 5/8", and 1/2" SafetyGlo which are better suited to high angle specialized rescues, and industrial safety applications.
