Maxtrax Static Winch Rope - 30m
Maxtrax Static Winch Rope - 30m
The MAXTRAX Static Winch Rope is a 30 m (100 ft) metal-free winch rope built from Ultra-High-Molecular-Weight Polyethylene and polyester. It runs 10 mm in diameter with a minimum breaking strength of 9,500 kg (20,943 lb), and it carries no hooks, thimbles, or steel hardware. That makes it a drop-in replacement for steel winch cable or for a synthetic rope that still uses a metal hook or thimble.
This is a static rope, not a kinetic one. It has near-zero stretch, so it pulls clean under winch load instead of storing energy like a snatch strap. Reinforced loop eyes at both ends connect with a shackle. Integrated color markings flag the working limit as the rope pays out: black covers the last 6 m, red covers the last 2 m, so you keep enough wraps on the drum.
The standout is reach. At 30 m it pulls double duty: leave it on the drum as your winch line, or pull it off and run it as a static extension to anchor well past the length of a stock winch cable. Shackle two MAXTRAX ropes together with a Core Shackle and you can build whatever length the recovery needs.

Overview
The MAXTRAX Static Winch Rope is a 30 m, 10 mm metal-free winch rope rated to a 9,500 kg minimum breaking strength. It replaces steel cable or hardware-equipped synthetic rope, and doubles as a static extension to reach a distant anchor.
Key features
- 30 m (100 ft) length, 10 mm diameter, 9,500 kg (20,943 lb) minimum breaking strength
- Ultra-High-Molecular-Weight Polyethylene and polyester construction — fully metal-free
- Static (near-zero stretch) — built for winching, not snatch recovery
- Reinforced loop eyes at both ends for shackle connection
- Integrated color markings: black for the last 6 m, red for the last 2 m
- Connects to other MAXTRAX ropes with a Core Shackle to build added length
Use cases
Use it as a metal-free replacement for a steel winch cable or for a synthetic rope that still runs a metal hook or thimble. Or take it off the drum and run it as a static extension when your winch cable won't reach a solid anchor — a far tree, a rock, or a second vehicle.

- Markings: Black (last 6 m), red (last 2 m)
- Recovery type: Static (winch line / extension); not kinetic
Can I use this as a snatch or kinetic recovery strap?
No. This is a static rope with near-zero stretch. It's made for winching and for use as a fixed extension to a solid anchor. It is not a kinetic or snatch strap, so don't use it for jerk (momentum) recoveries.
How do I use it to reach an anchor my winch cable can't?
Pull it off the drum (or run it from your winch hook) and shackle the reinforced loop to a tree-trunk protector, a rated anchor, or another MAXTRAX rope. At 30 m it reaches an anchor well past the length of a standard winch cable.
Can I replace my steel winch cable with this?
Yes — it's a metal-free replacement for steel cable or for synthetic rope that still uses a metal hook or thimble. It's 10 mm by 30 m; confirm your winch drum's capacity at 10 mm before respooling.
What do the black and red marks mean?
They're extension warnings. Black marks the last 6 m of rope and red marks the last 2 m, so you can see when you're near the end and keep enough wraps on the drum under load.
How do I care for it?
Rinse it with fresh water and let it air dry after use, then store it dry. Inspect it before every use for cuts, fraying, or burns, and retire it if you find damage.
