Manila Rope Technical Details

Ordering the right amount of rope

As a natural fibre rope, Manila will shrink when wet and lengthen once dry. When calculating the length you need, factor in an additional 10% to your order.

Note: The diameter of the rope is measured during manufacture whilst the rope is under tension. Natural ropes may therefore have a slightly larger diameter than stated.

Diameter / Weight / Break load 

Diameter Weight per 220m (kg) Break load (kg)*
6mm 6 295
8mm 12 515
10mm 15 794
12mm 23 1,132
14mm 31 1,520
16mm 42 1,969
18mm 48 2,478
20mm 61 3,040
22mm 73 3,662
24mm 88 4,334
