WARN
engineers faced a challenge when they set out to develop a synthetic
rope for winching. The rope had to be light weight, durable and easy to
handle-but it also needed to maintain high tensile strength over a wide
range of temperatures. "We've made a
synthetic rope design that lives up to the standards of
performance and quality demanded of the Warn winch," said Thomas
Giacomini, Chief Operating Officer for Warn Industries. "Now, crawlers
and trail riggers can tackle practically any obstacle confidently, with
less winch weight, and get an added jump on the competition." Discuss this article in the Jeep Horizons ForumsJeep®,

What
they came up with is a unique design that provides the optimal balance
of performance characteristics needed by rock crawlers and owners of
advanced trail rigs. The 100' WARN Synthetic Rope combines the best
attributes of two types of high-performance fibers, woven into one
rope. The first 30 feet of rope wound nearest the drum is made of a
liquid crystal polymer fiber that provides excellent strength and
bending properties over a wide range of temperatures. The remaining 70
feet of rope, from the hook back, is woven from another unique
polyethylene fiber that exhibits superior handling and abrasion
resistance.
