3/8" HMPE Synthetic Winch Line - 17600 lbs Breaking Strength

Our synthetic winch lines are made from HYPER-XII™ HMPE rope, a high-performance 12-strand braided fiber that is stronger than steel cable at the same diameter while being significantly lighter and easier to handle. Unlike traditional wire rope, synthetic winch lines do not store energy under tension, reducing the risk of dangerous recoil if the line breaks, making them a safer choice for vehicle recovery, off-road applications, industrial winching, and more.

Key Benefits of Synthetic Winch Lines:

• High strength-to-weight ratio – stronger than steel cable of the same size.
• Lightweight and easy to handle – floats on water and won’t rust or kink.
• Reduced risk of snapback – safer than steel cables in the event of failure.
• Low stretch and high flexibility – makes spooling and unspooling smoother.
• Abrasion-resistant and UV-stable – designed for durability in harsh environments.

High-Quality Winch Line Construction:

• Steel thimble spliced into one end for added durability and secure attachment.
• 4 feet of floating chafe sleeve included to protect against abrasion.
• Opposite end is cut bare for flexibility in mounting options.
• Optional Grade 80 hook – A high-quality hook can be added as an upgrade when selecting options before checkout.

While synthetic winch lines offer superior performance, they require proper care to prevent damage. HMPE fibers can be cut more easily than steel cable, so extra precautions should be taken to avoid sharp edges, excessive friction, and high heat buildup. Standard lengths are offered from 50 to 200 feet, but custom-length winch lines can be made upon request, as we are a full-service rigging shop capable of building custom assemblies to meet specific needs.

Due to the custom-built nature of these winch lines and the extensive handling required in fabrication, they are not returnable.
