Yale Cordage

Knowing when to retire a rope is just as important as knowing how to use it.

Yale Cordage's Rope Selection & Inspection Guide is a free resource that covers rope inspection best practices, removal from service criteria, proper rope selection, and guidance for a wide range of applications, including utility stringing lines.

Whether you're inspecting ropes in the field or training your team, this guide is a valuable reference to keep on hand.

Blue 32 spotted in the wild!

Yale Enthusiast and arborist Casey Jones recently put 200 feet of 11.7mm Blue 32 to work on a Douglas fir. Casey climbed on a fixed line and set a 3/4-inch Polydyne pull rope for the job.

Thanks for sharing your setup, Casey. It’s always great to see Blue 32 performing in real-world arborist applications.

🎥🌳 SWIPE RIGHT 🤘🚀
Great day spent with Ronald Stanley & Billy Farrelly this stone dead Oak tree needed dismantling had great fun filming with these two again! Banter is on point. I even got stuck in & started chipping while these two had fun with the crane 🏗️🤪

Some very shiney kit to play with! Ron’s rope was so full of sappni lent him my Yale Cordage blue 32 I pretty sure he’s owns it now 👌

We’ll be in Nashville from May 27–29 for the Inland Marine Expo (IMX) 2026, the annual gathering for the marine transportation and logistics industry focused on strengthening commerce, building relationships, and moving the inland waterways forward.

We’ll be there alongside Maritime Throwdown, who we’re proud to sponsor, and looking forward to connecting with partners, customers, and others across the industry to talk through the challenges and opportunities shaping operations from the Great Lakes down to the Gulf.

If you’re attending, stop by and see us at booth #1220!

We’re proud to support the next generation of marine industry professionals at Whittier Regional Vocational Technical High School in Massachusetts!

Through our partnership with Whittier Tech’s Marine Technology program, we provide materials and technical insight that help students work toward their splicing certifications. Learning hands-on is central to what we do, and it’s exciting to see students developing their skills with the same techniques relied on across the marine industry.

Investing in students today means strengthening the industry tomorrow. We’re glad to play a role in their journey and look forward to seeing all they accomplish.

Yale Cordage is at the Northeast Public Power Association (NEPPA) RodE&O Conference & Expo this week as a Gold Level Sponsor.

We’re out at Loon Mountain Resort in Lincoln, NH joining teams and partners from across the public power community for a few days of competition, training, and conversation.

Always a great event to see the skill and teamwork that keep the industry moving.
