Sterling Rope Company Inc. has developed an entirely new approach to rope construction using mixed materials. With a polyester sheath and nylon core, the WorkPro offers a balanced elongation in the core and sheath, so they share the load evenly. This makes the WorkPro series stronger than other ropes of similar diameters while retaining a small but important amount of elongation.

These kernmantle ropes are dual certified to EN 1891 Type A and NFPA 1983 (Technical for 3/8ā€ and 7/16ā€, General for 1/2ā€) standards. They also meet ANSI Z133 standards.

ā€œIā€™ve used the 7/16ā€ WorkPro extensively this past year, and Iā€™m happy to see Sterling is coming out with a 1/2ā€ diameter that has the same performance and handling characteristics,ā€ said Ed Carpenter, owner and lead instructor for North American Training Solutions. ā€œAs an arborist, the larger diameter is easier on my hands when I climb and is more compatible with the gear I use.ā€
