Lane Ropes

Swimplex is a market leader in the supply of lane ropes and accessories and they are available through distributors in each state.



Each lane rope is made from the following components:

DISC
Material is polypropylene. Product name is T7609PTU and contains two stabilisers. Add rate is 2% giving 0.4% in the final product. One is a light absorber that has excellent chemical resistance and is necessary due to the exposure to chlorine but has less strength than the second UV stabiliser. The second stabiliser has a lot of strength but can be affected by chlorine. The formula is expected to provide an average life cycle expectancy exceeding 3 years but is subject to a number of other intervening factors.

Standard colours are: white, royal blue, green, yellow, red and black. Other colours can be made eg: to suit a school provided we get a sample or master batch number.

WIRE
49 strand 304 grade stainless steel 3.2mmØ. Every roll is proof tested and certified. If certification is a requirement of the specification then we need to be notified to log the details when the order is processed. The MBL (minimum breaking load) is 652kN or 652 kilograms.

Fitments
All are 304 stainless steel. S hook is 6mm. Duplex or "gripple" can take wire up to 3.2mm

TENSIONER
Cover is moulded black HDPE (high density polyethylene) with ribs for extra grip and comfort. Barrel is 304 stainless steel with brass ferrule. To attach the wire the handle is simply forced along the stainless steel barrel which allows access to the duplex clamp. When attached the handle is repositioned to hide the clamp and wire end.
