Steel VS. Synthetic Winch Rope
Steel rope is extremely durable, abrasion resistant, and is good for utility applications where the line may contact objects like stumps, rocks, and other things that rub against the rope. Steel rope is heavier and less flexible than synthetic line and is less expensive than synthetic rope.
Synthetic rope is strong, lightweight, easy to handle, and it’ll even float on water making it great for vehicle recovery. Synthetic rope is more prone to damage by abrasion, and requires the use of the included abrasion sleeve when the rope comes into contact with an object. However, Synthetic is more expensive than steel but it’s a great choice for those who are looking to keep weight down and push the limits with their vehicle.
