How many pounds will the rope pull before it breaks?

Often safe load strength is appx 10 to 12 times breaking strength. Note: A BREAKING ROPE IS DANGEROUS!

I bought it because it floats. As to how much it can pull, I would say it depends on the diameter of the rope.

I have never broken the rope. I am using it for an anchor rope in my canoe and the anchor is ten pounds. It seems to be a pretty sturdy rope.

I use mine for an 8lb mushroom anchor. Works great for that, sometimes I have to pull pretty hard if the anchor gets suctioned into some mud or sand or even wrapped up in vegetation. Something tells me you're looking for a heavier weight, but hopefully that's helpful to you.

I don't know what the max weight would be, i sit on it with no problem weight 130. Personally I wouldn't want to pull more than that!

Yes. I weigh 155 and it bent when I was half way up a 15' wall testing it out. I then straightened it out and welded the tines together at the main shank. It's working great now. I have used it about 10 times. Climbing 10-30 feet. I changed the rope of course. To reach the higher limits I tied a string to a large nut and tossed that over a tree limb and then attached the grapple and pulled it over. Be safe! Roy

The 550 cord is rated for 550LB. I'm sure your going to use more than one strand of cord. I would say it would hold 400LB. I used it to pull a car with it was the only thing I had in my truck we had to wrap it around the shackle to the ball hitch 10 times. pulled the car 8 miles home.

The industry standard on swings is 125lbs. I would not exceed that guideline on any roped item

The pulley system has fairly tight tolerances. It's hard to say for sure but my best guess is it won't accept a larger diameter rope. The rope that came with this worked great and held a large deer off the ground if that helps.

Yes. The ends are very cheap but the rope is very strong. I would guess it could hold up to about 200 pounds or maybe even more.

I don't know about a broken rope. Sorry. I purchased one with a rope that wouldn't catch so I just bought another. Guess I should have complained to the manufacturer.Maybe you should ask Progressive International.

The only rating specs I know are those in the product description. I've loaded the unit to probably 1000 lbs and the rope held. The biggest problem was how much the rope stretched - at least 50 percent.

Hard to say, as the manufacturer doesn't seem to advertise this information. One vendor says 125 pounds. I used it at a dog show with a max payload of 75-80 pounds. It worked very well.

I agree with PD Caroll in that the door and/or frame will fail long before this does. I do seem to recall a YouTube video claiming something like 4000lbs - but don't quote me. I would say that in regards to how many pounds it could withstand, "enough" would be a pretty good guess ;)

According to the manufacturer, The tie down has a break strength of 3000 lbs and a working load limit of 1000 lbs hope this helps, Chris

The Amsteel 7/64 rope has a average break strength of 1600 pounds with a minimum of 1400. The types of constrictors used in this setup would on average reduce that by approximately 20 percent. That would be over 1000 pounds still, but I would reduce that by 50 percent as a "just in case" for a hammock. So I would trust it about 500 pounds.

I doubt 400lbs, maybe 350lbs and less. Would be safer to say 200lbs or less. It not just the weight, it would be the shifting of weight back and forth that would break it.

The width of the pulley where the rope would ride is 1/4". I use this pulley with cable.

It is just about 1 level up from "junk". I have one that I use to lift a pickup bed cover.. This fiberglass bedcover probably weighs about 150-200 pounds. It is all that I can do to pull the rope hard enough to lift this cover and I am 6' tall and weigh 210lbs.. So far the cover hasn't fallen on the ground; but the rope is so light I am always surprised that it hasn't fallen... Also there is so much friction because the pullies are not riding on bearings.. Just bolts.. If what you are wanting to lift is over 200lbs. forget about this item.

Not sure, I'm not lifting anywhere near that. I'd be curious how anyone can hold on to a small rope and pull with 666 lbs (6:1 mechanical advantage - and there is no brake or lock on this). If you need lifting of more than about 200 lbs, you'll probably want a winch for the rope.
