I will be using this rope in my basement area which limits me to 15ft rope. Which rope would you suggest 1.5" or 2"?

Fifteen is kind of short. For me I'd definitely go with the heavier (usually thicker) rope.

Unless you have ReallyBigHands or are a very accomplished athlete ( w really good grip. ) the 1.5's would work better for you.

Hi, I would use a 2" rope. The reason The 2" rope is heavyer than the 1.5" rope. You will get a better workout.

The limitation of 15ft will not affect whether 1.5" or 2" is right for you. The only consideration is circumference to hand size and weight to length. It is difficult for an average sized, athletic man to climb 2" rope because the circumference makes grip strength a challenge.Most intermediate to advanced athletes would still climb 1.75". 1.5" is good for beginners. If you are only doing battle ropes with this, the added diameter adds additional weight over a given distance, making larger rope more challenging for the grip, as well as all other muscles involved. If you will be tugging (e.g. tug of war, sled pulling), the grip is, again the key factor. I suggest a demo, go get your hands on it. Or, failing that, roll a sheet of paper to a 1.5" and 2" diameter and see how your hand gets around it. For most 1.5"=beginner, 1.75"=intermediate, 2"= advanced... don't forget to purchase a length just over double the distance you plan to battle so you have enough...

Pay attention to tensile strength and working load the working load of a rope is usually 1/5 the breaking strength so if a rope has a breaking strength of 1500 pounds you can safely use it for something around 500 pounds. like two or three pre-teen kids and a big tire. So if you get a 1000 pound test rope you have to remember if you weigh 200 pounds once you use the rope as a pendulum you weigh more than 200 pounds when you swing. so get one that's at least a 1200 pound rope.

I got the 15 meter and it works great between two trees in my backyard... and trust me, it's still longer than I can transverse without falling off.... that all said, if you don't care about the extra cost, having the extra length is always useful...

The rope that comes with it is 3/8" but I was able to fit a 1/2" rope through.

The total circumference of the grommet whole is the size of a quarter. Like the Navy Vet, I used bungee cords to tie down to my RV. If I would have to use rope I would use the 1 inch as suggested by the Navy Vet as I know that would fit the grommet.

Hi Mark, I only used the rope with this unit and never used the tape. Depending on what you are using it to keep out / in, I am sure the tape works well but I don't know what distance will be lost if any.

Best I can tell is 1 inch is about it. But like the other responder said, wrap a piece of chain around your 2 inch bar and hang the hook on that. The hoist is a good product for the money. I like mine. I use it for lifting 55 gal water barrels off the back of my truck.

I am guessing that it will depend on what the purpose of the carabiner is. It should be large enough to be comfortable in the hand if you are planning on having to change the rope or its position. I would suggest 3" at a minimum.

I actually used a 1/8'' piece of cable with mine. However you should be able to use a 1/2" piece of rope. I am not sure but 3/8 would either be the max on size or perhaps to large. Hope this helps.

The rope I purchased was a 20 ft. rope. It is 20 feet long and still working well.

The rope is 3/8 but has a bit of stretch to it. I would not personally use it for the 2 ton rating. Maybe that only applies to the metal parts? Are you really lifting 2 tons though?

Be sure to pick the correct size I bought the 10 x 20 white and it works well, be sure to center it end for end before tightening the ropes.

The 1 or 2 inch will work fine. I took 2 pieces of 1 inch pipe, straight ends, taped them together with this, and after 10 minutes did pull-up with the pipe and I weigh 250 pounds. This is awesome stuff, just follow the direction

Sorry but rope would stretch too much! Must use at least 1/4 inch cable for children, bought cable at Home Depot in 125ft reel best buy that I found

Siamak, I don't think your size really matters. It is your fitness level that will determine the rope size. The thicker the rope & longer the rope, the higher the difficulty level. Shorter/thinner ropes will allow longer exercise durations, while the opposite will yield shorter & more intense workouts. The 40' 2" is a good in between difficulty level rope. But like anything else, it's not so much WHAT you use, but more of HOW you use it.

I have a 9 foot ceiling and when all the way down, still have another 6 foot of rope left on the floor (approximately 15 feet from the pulley). My unit has a 4:1 mechanical advantage.

Hello, I have 2 inch incoming and 1.5 out going. I use my pump for for a booster pump for an R.O. System. Works great.
