Heavy Marine

At Machovec, we understand the importance of innovation, design, and unparalleled customers service. Our products are specifically designed to meet the needs of the most demanding maritime professionals and undergo extensive on-the-water testing.

Rope designs and constructions are derived from over a century of combined and manufacturing experience; coupled with the latest fiber and construction technology. A modern test laboratory, with tensile capacity to 150 tons, and a Quality Assurance Program insure that ropes meet and exceed all industry standards including the Cordage Institute and Military Specifications, where applicable. All ropes are made of the highest quality fibers.

All ropes are engineered to provide the strengths, abrasion resistance, and elongation characteristics needed for the majority of marine operations . . . at cost effective pricing. Some rope constructions allow replacement of wire rope with the advantages of lighter weight, easier and safer handling and long corrosive free life.

Types of Ropes Available

3-Strand

Traditional rope construction consisting of three equally sized strands twisted together to produce a very fine, durable rope. Standard designs are available in nylon, polyester, polypropylene and specialized blends. Uses include hand and block lines, safety lines and numerous other applications. Available in sizes up to 1⅛".

Double Braid

Exceptionally strong rope constructed of a core braid contained within an outer braided jacket. Double braids are torque free, have very good abrasion resistance and other excellent strength to weight ratios. Ropes are available in nylon, polyester and combinations of fibers, including Kevlar®, Spectra®, and Technora® that are designed to maximize the advantages inherent in different fiber classes. Uses include heavy marine applications, winch and stringing lines, pleasure marine ropes and numerous other applications. Available in sizes up to 10" circumference.

12-Strand Single Braids

Round single braid rope construction designed to offer high strengths and ease of splicing. Single braids offer significant improvement in performance over twisted and 8-strand plaited ropes. Available in nylon, polyester, Spectra®,  polyester/polypropylene blends. Uses include mooring and head lines, hand and block lines and other general purpose applications. Available in sizes up to 6" circumference.

Parallel Core Ropes

Specialized construction consisting of a parallel fiber core wrapped with a double layer of polyester tape and covered with a braided jacket. Unlike other parallel core ropes, this product is easily spliced using a technique similar to that used for double braids. The parallel core rope provides very high strength and exceptionally low elongation and is designed for applications such as stringing lines where low stretch is a primary consideration. Available in sizes up to 1-1/8" diameter.
