LIMEROPE Core-Sheath Winch Rope 4 mm × 20 m – 1,400 kg Breaking Load
The LIMEROPE core-sheath winch rope with a diameter of 4 mm and a length of 20 metres is a modern synthetic winch rope designed for suitably rated winches and pulling applications. With an indicated breaking load of approx. 1,400 kg, it combines high strength with the low weight and comfortable handling of a synthetic fibre rope.
What makes LIMEROPE special is its core-sheath construction. The load-bearing fibre core is positioned inside the rope and is surrounded by a continuous, tightly braided outer cover. This outer braid forms an additional protective layer between the inner fibres and external mechanical influences.
At the same time, the compact construction supports a round and dimensionally stable rope profile. This is particularly advantageous when the rope is used on a winch drum, where clean and controlled spooling is important.
Strong Core. Protected Outside.
Many conventional synthetic winch ropes consist of braided high-performance fibres that form the external surface of the rope. LIMEROPE adds a continuous protective outer braid that surrounds the actual rope core along its entire length.
In professional rope engineering, comparable constructions are commonly referred to as core-sheath, double-braid or double-braided rope constructions. This design combines the strength of the inner fibre core with an additional outer protective layer.
Advantages of the LIMEROPE Core-Sheath Winch Rope
-
Core-sheath construction: inner load-bearing fibre core with a continuous braided outer cover
-
Additional protection for the rope core: the outer braid reduces direct contact between the inner fibres and external influences
-
Dimensionally stable construction: the compact design supports a round rope profile
-
Low weight: easier and more comfortable to handle than a comparable conventional steel wire rope
-
Flexible handling: convenient when paying out, rewinding and handling the rope away from the winch
-
No protruding steel wires: avoids the typical broken wire strands associated with steel cable
-
Corrosion-free fibre rope: unlike steel wire rope, the synthetic rope itself cannot rust
-
Distinctive Lime Green colour: high visual recognition during use
-
20 metre rope length: compact version for appropriately sized winches
-
Approx. 1,400 kg breaking load: for applications within the technically permissible range
Core-Sheath Construction Instead of Exposed Load-Bearing Fibres
The construction is the central feature of LIMEROPE. The fibres responsible for carrying the load are located inside the rope, while the outer braid acts as an additional protective layer.
This differentiates LIMEROPE from many basic synthetic winch ropes in which the load-bearing fibres themselves form the exposed surface of the rope.
The continuous outer cover also contributes to a compact surface and an even rope profile. This makes LIMEROPE particularly suitable for applications where the rope is repeatedly wound onto and paid out from a winch drum.
Synthetic Winch Rope as an Alternative to Steel Cable
Synthetic winch ropes offer several practical advantages compared with conventional steel cables. They are considerably lighter, more flexible and do not contain individual steel wires that can protrude when a wire strand breaks.
In addition, the synthetic rope itself cannot corrode. This can make handling significantly more convenient, particularly in mobile applications, on vehicles, trailers and winches that are used regularly.
The lower weight of a synthetic fibre rope is also noticeable when pulling the rope out, guiding it back to the winch and storing it after use.
Lime Green – Distinctive and Easy to Recognise
The characteristic Lime Green colour is not only the visual signature of the LIMEROPE range. Its bright colour provides strong contrast in many operating environments, helping the rope stand out against vehicles, machinery and the surrounding ground.
This makes the colour itself an unmistakable visual feature of LIMEROPE synthetic winch ropes.

Important: The stated breaking load of approx. 1,400 kg refers to the breaking load of the rope and must not be confused with a permissible Working Load Limit (WLL). When selecting a winch rope, the specifications of the winch, drum diameter, rope attachment, safety factor and intended application must always be taken into account.
What Applications Is the LIMEROPE 4 mm × 20 m Suitable For?
The 4 mm LIMEROPE is primarily intended for appropriately dimensioned smaller winches and pulling applications where a lightweight, flexible and dimensionally stable synthetic rope is required.
Depending on the technical approval and specification of the individual winch, potential applications can include vehicles, trailers, leisure equipment and other mechanical pulling applications.
The maximum pulling force of the winch is not the only relevant factor. Correct rope selection must also take into account the required safety factor, drum geometry, attachment method and operating conditions.
Frequently Asked Questions About LIMEROPE 4 mm × 20 m
What is a core-sheath winch rope?
A core-sheath rope contains a load-bearing fibre core inside the rope. A separately braided outer cover surrounds this core and forms an additional protective layer. Comparable constructions are internationally also referred to as double-braid or double-braided ropes.
What is the breaking load of the 4 mm LIMEROPE?
This 4 mm version has an indicated breaking load of approx. 1,400 kg or 1.4 tonnes. The breaking load must not be interpreted as a permissible working load.
How long is the rope?
This LIMEROPE version has a total length of 20 metres.
Can LIMEROPE replace a steel winch cable?
Synthetic winch ropes can generally be used as an alternative to steel cable on winches that are suitable for synthetic rope. Before conversion, the rope attachment, winch drum, fairlead and required rope specification must be checked.
Why does LIMEROPE have an outer protective cover?
The braided outer cover creates an additional protective layer for the inner fibres. The core-sheath construction also supports a compact and dimensionally stable rope profile.
What does LIMEROPE mean?
LIMEROPE combines the characteristic Lime Green colour with the English word “rope”. The bright green colour is also the visual signature of the LIMEROPE product range.
