AmSteel®-Blue, a 12-strand high-modulus polyethylene (HMPE) single braid rope made with Dyneema®, is the preferred solution for improving abrasion resistance and increasing service life and strength efficiency when compared to more loosely-braided HMPE ropes. AmSteel®-Blue is less likely to snag on sharp objects and has a longer tension fatigue resistance as measured by the thousand cycle load level (TCLL) test.

Have you heard?
SUPERSTRAND™ and GORILLA SUPERSTRAND™ wires are part of a new family of products now on the floor of Paducah Rigging warehouses. FACE, WING, WINCH, and STATIONARY WIRES designed and engineered for the Inland Marine Industry.
Superstrand Products are made for Paducah Rigging and designed by German engineers. The wire is bought in bulk, usually 5000 foot reels, and brought into our Kentucky and Louisiana branches. From there, we fabricate the length and fittings according to the customer’s specifications. To ensure the highest quality of wire rope, each reel of wire is inspected and pulled to destruction in our facility, on our test bed, and operated by Kentucky and Louisiana residents. All fittings are also regularly tested to ensure their quality, as well as all equipment used in the fabrication and testing processes.
The special design’s properties allow it to be more resistant to the normal complaints about winch wires: bad spooling, kinks, birdcaging, and many other names used on the river.
The design also allows it to be handled easier than other wires in multiple applications on the river: winch wires, face and wing wires, stationary and barge wires. The wire rope is much more flexible than any other rope ever used in this application. And if you want more strength, or prefer to downsize to a lighter wire, just ask for Gorilla Superstrand!!
SuperStrand’s best selling point: if you think it looks good on paper, wait ‘till you see it work on a barge.
