Minimum breaking strength of the 8:1 haul system body is 11,000 lbs. Minimum breaking strength of the 8:1 lower tie in hole (becket) is 3,000 lbs. Due to the mechanical advantage of this unit, the becket will only see 1/8th of the load put on this unit. (example: 8,000 pound load on unit = 1000 pounds on becket). The average strength at which the rope slips through the cam using brand new NER VPC hybrid performance braid 8mm rope is 2,340 lbs. It should be noted however, that other ropes and different diameters will produce different numbers at which the rope slips through the cam. VPC has a strong, lightweight core of Vectran and polyolefin surrounded by a durable UV-resistant polyester cover. VPC rope has a low elongation and provides excellent hand/grip. Minimum breaking strength of the VPC rope is 4,000 lbs.
