HAWSE PRO

The original Hawse Pro™ is made in the USA using Precision machining and the highest quality materials. The patented anti-friction design focuses on reducing the two major components that are conducive to equipment failure. Friction induced Heat and Abrasion... Friction induced heat can seriously affect the strength of synthetic ropes. The temperatures at which 50% strength loss can occur are: polypropylene 250°F, nylon 350°F, polyester 350°F. When using rope where the temperature exceeds the levels (or is too hot to hold), consult the manufacturers recommendations as to the size and type of the rope for the proposed continuous heat exposure conditions... High temperatures can be achieved when surging rope on a capstan , checking ropes on a cable, running over stuck or non-rolling sheaves or rollers. Each ropes construction and fiber type will yield a different coefficient of friction reluctance to slip in a new and used state. It is important to understand the operational demands..
