When visibility and buoyancy are non-negotiable, the Orange Floating Lifeline 10mm is an essential lifesaving asset for maritime and aquatic safety. Stocked by family ropemakers, James Lever of Bolton, this Everlasto rope is constructed from high-grade twisted polyethylene. Unlike natural fibres, this synthetic material is rot-proof and water-resistant. It remains buoyant and lightweight even during prolonged submersion.
The vibrant orange colour is designed for maximum contrast against water, aiding visibility in low-light conditions. At a 10mm diameter, this buoyant heaving line provides a substantial grip for manual hauling during a rescue, yet remains light enough for accurate throwing and rapid deployment.
Product Information
This Orange Floating Lifeline 10mm features a traditional 3-strand twisted design. The high flexibility makes it easy to handle or splice for custom safety setups. The polyethylene material is UV-stabilised during manufacturing, preventing the rope from becoming brittle even after long-term exposure to direct sunlight.
The synthetic composition is rot-proof and resistant to chemicals, such as corrosive saltwater or oils. The durable build of our Orange Floating Lifeline 10mm provides a superior mechanical grip, which is critical when hands are wet, cold, or covered in sea spray. This ensures a secure hold during manual hauling, where a smooth rope might slip.
Key Features:
- UV-Stabilised: Engineered to resist degradation and brittleness from long-term sun exposure.
- Rot-Proof & Chemical Resistant: High resistance to saltwater, oils, and common acids.
- Heat-Sealed Ends: As a thermoplastic, the ends can be heat-sealed for a permanent, fray-proof finish.
- Minimal Maintenance: Requires a simple fresh-water rinse to preserve the synthetic fibres.
- Easy Storage: Store in a neat coil to prevent “memory kinking” and tangling.
- This rope conforms to EN ISO 1969:2004, meeting recognised international standards for performance, quality and safety requirements.
At a 10mm diameter, the Orange Floating Lifeline serves as the industry utility standard. It offers the perfect balance of strength and lightweight handling, making it easy to throw accurately. This also makes it ideal for lifebuoy attachments, swimming zone boundary markers, dinghy painters, and emergency rescue throw-bags.
