Winch Rope

Samson AmSteel* the winch rope by which all others are judged. The unparalled benefits of synthetic winch lines has made them the number one choice for off roaders around the world. Made from revolutionary AmSteel*-Blue 12 strand HUMWPF (Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene Fiber). These ropes yield the maximum strength to weight ratio while being stronger than standard steel winch cables. Synthetic lines store zero energy under stress and in the vent of breakage; they do not exert the dangerous and vicious whiplash action that steel cable displays.

When using a synthetic winch rope we recommend using an aluminum fairlead. When winching from extreme angles roller fairleads can pinch and damage a winch rope just as they do steel cables.
