… know your rope’s age without a label
The easiest way is to check the label for date of manufacture or lot number. If your rope does not have a label anymore, cut a piece of the rope and check for the inner marker threads. Each rope has a colored thread inside the core that helps us to identify your ropes exact age.
Please contact us at maximropes@teufelberger.com and send the following info:
– Picture of the rope sheath
– Picture of the rope core and marker thread
