High Tenacity and Performance

Synthetic fiber in UHMWPE or HMPE (both are used) is a highly technical and high-quality product, recognized for years by professionals and experts in various fields:

• Boating
• Forestry
• Towing (4x4, truck)
• Slinging

The Dyneema brand quickly distinguished itself in the manufacture of high-tenacity HMPE rope.
Both very light and very robust, Dyneema winch cable is ideal in many situations, and greatly improves user comfort and facilitates transport compared to steel.
The very low elongation of HMPE makes this winch cable remarkably stable under load, ideal for winching.

Forestry Textile Cable

In addition to its lightness and ease of use, forestry cable has other advantages when working in the forest.

Synthetic textile fiber reduces the risk of injury to trees still standing and needing to be preserved. Dyneema cable does not cut into the bark of the tree.
It can be manufactured in very bright colors, orange or red.

In the undergrowth, among foliage and branches, the cable is much more visible than steel to all agents. Reduced risk of injury and errors for enhanced safety.

Dyneema Cable with Splice

To make your task easier, we custom-make your winch cable to the desired length and diameter.
We also perform splices on one or two ends.
Your cable is delivered with two reinforced textile loops for quick and easy attachment.

Advantages compared to a steel cable

For skidding operations and forestry work in particular, Dyneema winch cable offers undeniable advantages compared to using a steel cable.

Lightweight

This textile fiber is just as strong as a steel cable, but 10 times lighter!
Handling and transport are easier, and maneuverability is better.
Operators and foresters are less fatigued at the end of the day with this type of rope.
When you spend hours in the forest skidding, the comfort of use makes a significant difference to working conditions and fatigue.

Comfortable

The synthetic textile fiber also prevents the appearance of metal splinters that can injure hands.

Maintenance

Repairing a forestry textile cable is quick and easy, once you learn how to make a splice.
If the cable breaks, you can quickly repair it yourself by making a splice, even while skidding in the forest.
