Frequently asked questions about forestry supplies

What types of ropeways are there?

There are different types of ropes used in rope technology and outdoors. Each species has specific properties and benefits that make them suitable for specific activities or applications. Here are some of the most common types of fortropeing and their respective benefits:

Dynamic ropes:
• Advantages: Dynamic ropes are elastic and stretchy. This makes them ideal for activities such as climbing and mountaineering as they cushion falls and reduce stress on the body. They offer good shock absorption and are therefore safer in the event of a fall.


Static ropes:
• Advantages: Static ropes have less stretch or no stretch at all compared to dynamic ropes. This makes them ideal for activities that require minimal stretch, such as rescue or work ropes. They retain their shape and strength under load.


Half ropes (twin ropes):
• Advantages: Half ropes are thinner ropes that are often used in pairs. They offer flexibility and light weight, making them ideal for alpine climbing routes and other situations where weight needs to be minimized. They also provide some redundancy as they can be used separately.


Static-dynamic ropes (semi-static ropes):
• Advantages: Static-dynamic ropes are a mixture of static and dynamic properties. They are suitable for certain work applications, such as working at heights or tree climbing. They provide some stretch, but not as much as dynamic ropes.


Climbing ropes for indoor use (indoor climbing ropes):
• Advantages: Indoor climbing ropes are often durable and easy to use. They are designed for use in climbing gyms and can be available in different diameters and lengths.


Special ropes (e.g. canyoning ropes, rescue ropes):
• Advantages: Specialty ropes are designed for specific activities and often offer unique properties. For example, canyoning ropes are usually water-resistant, while recovery ropes have high breaking strength.


Choosing the right fortification rope depends on your specific activity and requirements. It is important to select the correct type, length and strength of rope according to your intended use to ensure your safety and efficiency. Additionally, proper care and maintenance of the rope is of great importance to ensure its durability and reliability.
