- 32-strand cover for optimum cover/core ratio
- polyester over polyamide with a balanced, torque-free construction
- excellent handling and knot holding characteristics
- high abrasion resistance
- excellent UV protection
Standards
- EN 1891A (9.5mm)
The polyester cover of KM-III is balanced with a polyamide core to limit rotation, bouncing, and stretch. Our KM-III is NFPA and CE certified. Thirty-two bobbins produce the right cover for the unique demands required of this static rope and the optimum cover/core ratio. This creates an incredibly smooth cover, higher tensile strengths, and superior handling characteristics.
KMIII has been the industry standard for life safety ropes for nearly 50 years. It is humbling to realize how many lives this rope has helped save and how many people have been kept safe as a result of this great rope. With a pedigree like that, why would you trust your life to anything else?
