Sterling 13mm 1/2" HTP Static Rope

STERLING 13MM (1/2") HTP™ ROPE

There is a great need in technical rope work of all kinds to have a strong, durable and very low stretch rope. Nylon is a great fiber for static ropes due to its multipurpose use. But, in certain applications, a lower stretch, higher strength rope is more efficient. That is why Sterling developed the HTP series of all polyester ropes.

Sterling's HTP™ all-polyester ropes offer significant advantages over nylon static ropes in many applications. With less than 1% stretch per 300-pound load, the need to pre-tension is less, reducing the loads on high lines and tracklines as well as the time to set up. In addition, the HTP has superior strength and handling due to the unique and finely tuned sheath and twisted core construction. Sterling has worked hard to continually improve the handling of this rope and still give you maximum strength with long-term durability. Even after extensive use, the HTP, like our nylon SuperStatic, remains supple and easy to use.

For tower erection and maintenance, transmission line rescue, and work at height uses, the HTP offers low electrical conductivity, and greater resistance from UV and certain chemicals. As polyester is a naturally dry fiber, the HTP resists moisture and maintenance its high strength characteristics even in wet conditions. The HTP is compatible with devices like the 540 belay device, Tuf Tug, Tractel, MIO and Petzl rope grabs making this the right rope for a variety of technical rope applications.

The HTP has been extensively field-tested in rescue and safety trainings. Years of use in actual rescues, in work access and tower situations is proven testimony to the high performance of this rope. Put the Sterling HTP rope in your rescue or work line up. It's the right rope for the tough and challenging rescue, work, industrial and tower jobs.

Available in diameters 9mm to 16mm, HTP ropes are great for single and multi-person use, highlines, extrication, military, industrial rope access, tower rescue and other high strength, low stretch applications.
