Teufelberger Sta-Set Rigging Rope 5/8"

Sta-Set rigging rope is a polyester double braid line from New England Ropes, now part of Teufelberger, and the 5/8 inch size is a common choice for general rigging and pulling work. It holds its shape, runs smoothly through hardware, and resists abrasion well.

What Sta-Set is good at

Sta-Set has been around a long time and shows up in many applications, from marine work to tree crews. A polyester double braid stays firm and round, which helps it run through blocks and lowering devices without flattening, and it holds up to the dirt and bark of daily rigging.

In 5/8 inch it works for lowering limbs, rigging moderate tops, and as a pull line for directional felling. For lighter or heavier work, compare other lines in our rigging rope.

Low stretch is the other reason crews like it. When you are pulling a tree over with a 3:1 or snugging a tag line, a rope that does not stretch much means less wasted pull and more direct control.

Splicing, hardware, and inspection

Double braid can be spliced with standard double braid techniques for eyes on slings and rigging lines. Match the rope to the rope range of your block, wrap device, and slings, and work from the maker's rated strength with a working load limit that allows for shock.

Inspect before every use for cut or pulled strands, glazed areas, core showing through the cover, or lumps that suggest internal damage. Keep it out of fuel and bar oil. Rigging should follow ANSI Z133 and be done by trained crew.
