Yale Topping Strop

YALE Polydyne Topping Strops

Topping Strops are used to secure your rigging block to the trunk of the tree. Simply tie around the tree with a cow hitch or a timber hitch.

Polydyne is the strongest polyester double braid available. 16mm average spliced break strength is 8,580kg, 19mm average spliced break strength is 11,800kg. It has low stretch and excellent abrasion resistance which is further enhanced by Yale's tree grade Maxijacket coatings.

The secret is all in the core which in the case of Polydyne is high tenacity tire grade nylon. Nylon provides the energy absorption advantage and allows the rope to stretch more in its early load cycle.

Polydyne allows you to drop bigger wood, increasing productivity and has a much higher working energy absorption meaning you can do more to the rope without damaging it.
