WATER RESCUE
Swiftwater, ice, and ocean environments present rescue personnel and
recreational participants with difficult circumstances when it comes to life
safety rope products. To meet the challenge Sterling Rope developed
WaterLine™, GrabLine™, Grabline SafetyGlo™ (new), Swiftwater
Response™ (new), and our UltraLine™ (new). WaterLine and GrabLine offer
higher tensile strength than typical polypropylene float ropes, which make
them more versatile for most water rescue emergencies and recreational
boating. Their construction provide the needed characteristics to make great
water rescue ropes - they are strong, durable, handle well, and above all,
they float.
GrabLine is our WaterLine with a high strength, tread-like construction that
gives you better hand traction. Now available in new SafetyGlo version. The
3⁄8" meets NFPA 1983, 2006 edition for Throwlines. Swiftwater Response is
our new larger diameter water rescue rope with a nylon sheath and
polypropylene core. The Spec 1000 has now been replaced by our new
UltraLine. Available in 1⁄4"and 3⁄8", this rope is a double braided polypropylene
sheath and dyneema core. It features the same characteristics as all our
other water rescues ropes - durability, easy to handle and deploy, the ability
to float high, and super high tensile strength. Any one of these water rescue
ropes is a must for swiftwater rescue teams and a great addition to emergency
kits carried by police and fire departments, EMS teams, rescue
squads, river guides and the Coast Guard.
* Spectra is currently not available for non–military purpose. |

**Dyneema™ is an Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene fiber that has
similar properties to Spectra; very high tenacity and specific gravity less
than 1. It is the perfect fiber for high strength swiftwater applications.
The Dyneema core provides the strength and polypropylene yields a
non-slippery sheath that has excellent knotability. |
