16mm Sisal Rope for Tag Line Full Reel 250 Metre
A 16mm sisal rope is commonly used as a tag line for controlling loads during lifting operations. Tag lines, including the 16mm tag line rope, are essential for riggers to manage the swinging or rotation of suspended loads, ensuring safety and control on worksites.
Key Details:
Material: 16mm sisal rope is made from natural fibers, specifically from the Agave sisalana plant.
Diameter: 16mm is a standard requirement for tag lines in many lifting applications, as regulations often specify that tag lines must be at least 16mm in diameter and made from a non-conductive material (natural fiber rope).
Length: Available in various lengths, such as 10m, 25m, or 50m rolls, depending on supplier and use case.
 Weight: For example, a 25m roll of 16mm sisal rope weighs about 4.25kg (170g per meter). A 50m roll is typically around 8kg.
 Strength and Usage: While sisal rope is strong and durable for many applications, it is generally suited for lighter or temporary loads. It is not recommended for heavy-duty lifting or as a primary hoisting rope due to its lower strength compared to synthetic alternatives.
Safety: Tag lines made from natural fiber rope like sisal are preferred for their non-conductive properties, reducing the risk of electrical hazards on site.
Typical Applications
-
Lifting Operations: Attached to loads to control movement and prevent swinging.
-
General Use: Securing loads, use around farms, camping, arts and crafts, and decorative purposes.
-
Not Suitable for: Heavy lifting, climbing, or use as a swing due to limited strength and shock absorbence.
