Description
The Procat flagpole rope is designed especially for use on flagpoles. Made of durable polyethylene (PE), the rope offers excellent weather resistance and UV protection, which makes it ideal for outdoor use all year round. The rope has a diameter of 5 mm and a length of 25 metres, which suits most 6–12 metre flagpoles. The breaking strength is 280 kg, which guarantees safe and reliable use for raising and lowering the flag.
The white colour of the rope is traditional and neutral, suiting a wide range of flagpoles and surroundings. The polyethylene material is light yet strong and durable, which makes the rope easier to handle and extends its service life. The rope’s construction prevents stretching and keeps its shape even in long-term use.
The Procat flagpole rope is easy to fit and replace. Its smooth surface lets it slide smoothly through the flagpole truck, which makes it easier to raise and lower the flag. The rope is compatible with most flagpoles and can be used on both new and old flagpoles.
