Excuse me, what kind of rope, round rope, should the truck use to bind the goods?

There are many kinds of ropes in our daily life. The rope used for trucks has developed from early hemp rope and cotton rope to present plastic rope and nylon rope. There are many kinds of ropes used for freight cars, and the properties of ropes woven with different materials are also different. The advantages and disadvantages of several common ropes can be understood through the following table. When purchasing ropes, pay attention to the strength and wear resistance of ropes.

● Common rope 1: the earliest used hemp rope.

Hemp rope is made of hemp, flax, apocynum venetum and other hemp plants, so hemp rope is a kind of rope which was born earlier and was widely used in all walks of life in ancient times. Over time, many places are still in use, and hemp rope is also widely used to bind the goods on trucks.

Although the wear resistance and corrosion resistance are good, the weight of hemp rope is relatively heavy, and it will become heavier after being drenched with water. In addition, the hardness of hemp rope is relatively large, so it is not very convenient to bind goods. Now there is almost no shadow of hemp rope on the truck, which has been completely replaced by later plastic rope.

● Common rope 2: cotton rope that is rarely used.

Cotton rope is also an earlier kind of rope. As can be seen from the name, cotton rope is mainly made of cotton. Cotton rope is made by drawing cotton into silk and twisting it into long strips. Generally, cotton ropes are mostly white and can be dyed as needed.

In the era when the chemical industry was underdeveloped, thick cotton ropes were used to bind the goods on trucks like hemp ropes. With the development of chemical industry in the later period, the cotton rope we see now is not pure cotton, but artificial cotton. Cotton rope has certain water absorption and general wear resistance, and now few people use cotton rope to bind goods.

● Common rope 3: widely used plastic rope.

With the development of chemical industry, plastic rope was rapidly popularized in the later period of reform and opening up. In fact, the plastic rope should be strictly called polypropylene PP plastic rope or polyethylene pe plastic rope. Our common plastic ropes are mainly plastic threads made of polypropylene or polyethylene, and the plastic threads used for rope weaving are divided into flat threads and round threads.

Plastic rope has the characteristics of low price, wear resistance and high strength. It can be said that plastic rope is the most commonly used rope in freight cars. At present, trucks mainly use plastic ropes to bind goods. At present, plastic rope can bind most goods and basically meet the needs of most people. So every truck will be equipped with several plastic ropes to bind the goods. It is convenient to buy plastic ropes, which can be bought in some logistics parks and grocery stores.

● Common ropes are: multi-purpose nylon belt.

Nylon ropes will also appear on trucks. Nylon is called polyamide in chemistry, transliteration is nylon, so the rope made of this material is called nylon rope. At present, there are not many nylon ropes used in trucks, but most of them use nylon belts, which is a common flat broadband.

Nylon itself has the characteristics of high strength, low density, good resilience and good fatigue resistance, so ropes and belts made of nylon are more durable. Because of its high strength, it will bind heavy goods. Now many trucks begin to use nylon belts instead of some ropes to bind goods, and the proportion of use begins to increase. Although nylon belt is better, it also has some disadvantages, such as easy water absorption, poor flame retardancy and low temperature resistance.

● Ordinary rope 5: high-strength steel wire rope.

Wire rope is a kind of rope with high strength, good elasticity and light weight. Generally made of multi-strand or multi-strand thin steel wire. Steel wire is usually made of high-quality carbon steel with carbon content of 0.5%~0.8%. Because they are made of steel wire, steel wire ropes are more wear-resistant. Steel wire rope has a long history in trucks, and is usually used for binding when transporting steel, wood or heavy objects.

Although the steel wire rope is relatively strong, it is easy to knot when stored, and it needs to be untied before it can be used next time. In addition, individual steel wires are easy to break after being used for a period of time, and more attention should be paid to prevent pricking hands when using them.

● Ordinary rope 6: Kevlar, the nobleman in the rope.

Let's start with the high-end rope. Because Kevlar is made of kevlar(R) aramid fiber developed by DuPont, many people call the rope woven by aramid fiber Kevlar rope. The average Kevlar rope is golden yellow. At present, there are not many domestic manufacturers of Kevlar rope, so its price is relatively expensive.

Kevlar rope has not been widely used in trucks at present, largely because of its price, which is much more expensive than common plastic rope. Although it is expensive, it has many characteristics such as high temperature resistance, fire prevention, flame retardant, light weight, high strength and wear resistance. With the development of production technology, the price of Kevlar rope will also drop. I believe that in the near future, Kevlar ropes will appear in a large number of trucks.

● Editor's note:

As an important tool for binding goods, rope is inseparable from it in daily sports cars. It can be said that the rope is very important for our driving safety. When binding goods, the rope of each material has different uses. What kind of rope to use depends on the type of goods you want to pull. I hope this article can be helpful to everyone, so that everyone can buy a rope suitable for their own use, bind the goods more firmly and complete each transportation safely.
