(1) What size is the rope and what is its load rating? Unless it's Spectra, I don't see how it could be rated for 4,000 lbs.

I'd guess the rope to be 3/8". I would be hesitant to load it with anything approaching 500lb. The construction of the block & tackle itself does not look remotely sturdy enough to lift a full size car (the equivalent of about 4000lb)

The only rating specs I know are those in the product description. I've loaded the unit to probably 1000 lbs and the rope held. The biggest problem was how much the rope stretched - at least 50 percent.

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?

My short answer is "I Don't Know", but it is a sturdy, well built machine and I have used mine to lift 200 pounds with no problem. My opinion (not backed up by any tests) is that it will survive anything that the rope going through it will hold.

Not this particular rope, you'll need something thicker made from manilla. If it's for lifting stuff find som3thing at a higher gauge if you need it to.lift people or animals ect find a nice synthetic.

it does not come with a rope. you buy your own depending on your tree and how high your branches are. my neighbor hung mine using a rope that holds 1000 lbs. and hook like that of a mountain climber.

I have never broken the rope. I am using it for an anchor rope in my canoe and the anchor is ten pounds. It seems to be a pretty sturdy rope.

it says on it 10,000lb but i would not reach that load max with my 4runner but it is a lot stronger then the tie down points people try to use for recovery

5,000 lbs is what the hook is rated at. I have yet to maximize a load to this limit. The hook is very rugged, with the exception of the spring-loaded retention latch. I recommend being careful with it.

26 lbs must be a typo. The anchor itself is just over 3 lbs, plus bag and rope, so 4.5 lbs is closer to correct .

Not sure this is the right answer but I don't see why not. The biggest obvious issue would be just like if you were using it as a tow rope would be weight load issue. This rope is rated for two people with a max weight somewhere in the low 300lbs. Don't know exact manu. specs. I would check into that! Hope this helps

it is rated to 250lbs, but not sure why (must be the hardware) because the cable is rated to 1,200lbs.

It isn't specified in the rope tips, but I did a quick search and found 9.2kn

Hi Atilla, Sorry I didn't see this question long ago! Must be my old eyes or something. ; - ) There is a range at which our 750lb Type 4 Mil Spec cord fails/breaks. Generally speaking... that is somewhere between 760 and 820+ pounds. Why the range? Well, even though we ONLY sell Mil Spec cord, there are still variations in the yarns that necessitate an honest disclosure about the break strength. In reality... no two cords are ever identical due to variations in the nylon manufacturing process. That said; our cord always exceeds the 750lb minimum break strength... sometimes it exceeds it by more than other times. Thanks, Bill... TOUGH-GRID

The 550 cord is rated for 550LB. I'm sure your going to use more than one strand of cord. I would say it would hold 400LB. I used it to pull a car with it was the only thing I had in my truck we had to wrap it around the shackle to the ball hitch 10 times. pulled the car 8 miles home.

The supplied rope is approximately 0.25" diameter. I wouldn't recommend varying very much from that size as it may effect the performance of the rope locking mechanism and the pulleys. The length needs to be at least 5 times the distance from the mount rail to the lowest point you want it to go down to. For instance, if you have the rail mounted to a 10' ceiling and you want the hooks to go all the way down to the floor you would need about 50' of rope. Unless you are lifting a weight higher than that of an average bike, you might want to wait until you see the supplied rope before buying the kevlar cord . . . the supplied rope is quite adequate in my opinion.

It weights 3 1/2 lbs & rolls up nice, about the size of a 6x8 tarp rolled up, 14 in long & 6 in wide. I will only use it a few times a year, so its fine for me. I would get some better rope though, it comes with very thin & weak rope. Other than that, it perfect for 1-2 people.

I bought it with the understanding it was rated for 300lbs. I weigh 195 lbs and have no trouble using the ladder. I just looked at it and I do not see a rating label on the ladder. Anyway, I like the product. It works for what I need.
