Product Description
Yale Yalex™ – 12-Strand Single Braid Polyester Rigging Rope (Maxijacket™ Coated)
Yale Yalex™ is a premium 12-strand single-braid polyester rope engineered for professional rigging and arborist lowering systems. Built with over-finish polyester fiber and a unique two-ends-per-carrier structure, Yalex creates a larger internal void—making it easier to splice and especially helpful when performing used-rope splicing in the field.
Every Yalex rope is finished with Yale’s Maxijacket™ urethane coating to reduce snagging, greatly improve abrasion resistance, and support color coding for application, job setup, or load rating identification.
Key Features
- 12-strand single braid (hollow braid) for smooth handling and splicing
- Two-ends-per-carrier structure creates a larger internal void for easier splicing
- Maxijacket™ urethane coating reduces snagging and boosts abrasion resistance
- Easy to color code for application or load rating identification
- Marine-grade yarn finish applied prior to twisting
- 2-ply construction helps retain rope shape
