Attaching to the Winch Drum
Sherpa winch drums are designed so they can accept either type of rope end crimp (pin type or screw on type).
Winch Rope Models: SWR28MB, SWR30MB, SWR45MB
Standard synthetic winch ropes in 28m, 30m and 45m have the following crimp to attach to the winch drum.
Winch Rope Models: SBTWR12, SDB10X28, SWR35MB, SWR45MB
The 12m (7mm) rope with hook, double braided rope with spectra and the Sherpa 35m & 45m ropes in 12mm have the follow screw on type connection.
Double Braided 100% Spectra Rope
Also available is a new 100% USA Spectra fibre winch rope with a double braided configuration. This rope feels amazing to handle and also looks great. The welded thimble end on these ropes is extra strong and will not crush under high strains.
This rope has a protective outer jacket but manages to maintain a high breaking strain due to the quality USA Spectra fibre construction. The 10mm overall outer diameter makes it a great upgrade for most winches on the market.

Grunter Boat Winch Synthetic Rope Alternative
This is 12m of 7mm synthetic rope supplied as an alternative to the 50mm webbing on boat trailer winches. Supplied with the drilled lug on the drum end for easy fitment and a marine grade stainless steel hook on the other end. These hooks are stamped with a WLL of 1,000kg.
Warning: Sherpa 4x4 still recommends the use of a winch dampener when performing a vehicle recovery with winch rope. Winch ropes should only be used on 'brake in gearbox' style winches. Brake in drum winches can get extremely hot causing damage to the rope which will reduce its MBS. Consider heat insulation on the drum if upgrading to synthetic rope from a old brake in drum winch.
