Proper rope care and use start well before the rope ever goes into service. Whether you’re preparing rope for cable installations, marine use, rigging, or general industrial applications, proper rope-cutting technique helps prevent unnecessary maintenance and performance issues. In this guide, we’ll walk through best practices for cutting rope to…

Pulling rope is a foundational component of cable installation, directly affecting friction management, load control, and the efficiency of a pull from start to finish. As requirements evolve, rope selection has become increasingly tied to performance and job conditions. Traditional pulling ropes continue to perform well across a wide range…

Winter changes everything on a jobsite. Loads behave differently. Equipment feels stiffer. And small issues that may be manageable in warmer months quickly become safety risks when temperatures drop. The good news is that winter does not have to derail productivity or safety. With a tighter inspection routine, smarter storage…

Nylon Mason Line (aka Seine Twine) Nylon mason line (aka Seine Twine) plays a critical role in layout, alignment, and measurement across a wide range of concrete and masonry tasks. While it’s a simple tool, its performance directly affects accuracy on the job. Choosing the right construction, braided vs. twisted,…

Rebar Tie Wire Rebar tie wire is one of the most relied-upon consumables in reinforced concrete work. It stabilizes intersections, secures cages during assembly, and helps crews maintain accurate spacing and alignment throughout the concrete placement process. When specified correctly, it supports structural integrity at every stage. When chosen poorly,…

UHMWPE Rope: High-Performance Pulling Rope In utility and industrial pulling applications, not all rope materials are created equal. When strength, control, and consistency under load are non-negotiable, UHMWPE rope, short for Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polyethylene, has become the new standard for high-performance synthetic pulling lines. At Erin Rope Corporation, our…
