Synthetic Rope
Synthetic Winch Rope replaces the steel cable that comes on 4wd recovery winches. Also known as wire rope and having trade names of Dyneema, Spectra and Plasma rope.
Warn winches are the big name in winches and have been around for years, but only come with steel cable. When you buy your next Warn winch, upgrade your purchase with our Dyneema SK75 synthetic winch rope. Even an older Warn winch with steel cable can be upgraded with synthetic rope. Note that we can supply a new Runva winch, with Dyneema rope, at an unbeatable price of $749.00. There are many benefits to replacing the steel cable on your winch with the new synthetic rope.

Termination and Ends
The rope thimble is the preffered termination for winch ropes. This allows easy connection of a bow shackle. Stainless steel shackles can be useful in high wearing situations.
Some comp guys prefer to go straight onto a latching hook for speed. In this case a small loop is all you need.
The ring terminal has no strength and is designed to assist with fastening to the winch drum. A clove hitch, placed after the ring terminal on the winch drum, will ensure that the rope will not accidentally pull out. You need at least 5 turns (neat and tight) on the drum before a full load is placed on the winch.
