Safeline

BLUEWATER Safeline Rescue Rope

The BLUEWATER Safeline is the world-renowned standard for professional rescue ropes, trusted by emergency responders and technical rescue teams across the globe. This robust, static rope features a 16-carrier sheath construction and a balanced 50/50 core-to-sheath ratio, ensuring unmatched durability and long wear even in the most demanding environments. The solution-dyed polyester sheath with a high-strength nylon core retains its shape and smooth handling characteristics, resisting flattening and lumping longer than most rescue ropes on the market.

Safeline ropes are available in multiple vivid colors for easy visual identification, allowing your team to instantly recognize which rope belongs to which kit. With its NFPA, EN 1891, and UIAA certifications, this rope meets the most stringent requirements for life safety, technical use, and low-stretch applications. Each rope is proudly made in the U.S.A., and is available with NFPA-certified sewn terminations.
