TUF-MAX® ropes are the most fatigue-resistant ropes we offer for shovel hoist applications providing advantages such as maximum service for more digging time between rope changes.

  • More fatigue resistant than standard ropes
  • PFV polymer cushions the strands and distributes internal stresses
  • Proprietary 8-strand construction
  • Coated to help prevent drum corrugation
  • Dual-coated core prevents internal nicking
  • PFV retains lubrication for the life of the rope
  • Special packaging options for easier transportation and installation
