Donaghys is one of Australasia's longest-standing rope makers.

The range covers low stretch kernmantle (LSK) ropes for rope access, rescue and height safety work, along with water rescue and utility lines. Donaghys rope is known for consistent handling, durability and honest performance under load, which is why it turns up everywhere from rope access jobs to emergency services kits. If you want rope made close to home with a track record to match, Donaghys is hard to look past.

How to choose the right Donaghys rope for you

1. Match the rope to the job. LSK low stretch rope suits rope access, rescue and abseiling. Utility lines suit rigging and general work, not life-safety.
2. Diameter. The rope has to suit your descender and devices. Check what your hardware is rated to run.
3. Length. Buy for the drop plus working slack. Many ropes can be supplied cut to length.
4. Check the certification. For life-safety work, confirm the rope's standard and rating suit your system. Ask us if unsure.
