Maxiflex ropes have been specifically developed to suit Tractel products. The rope is manufactured to extremely high tolerances which are necessary for the reliable operation of the product mechanism inside the machine.
Any other rope, even one that appears to be of the correct size which fits the machine is definitely NOT acceptable and could seriously affect the lifespan of your product. Efficiency and safety of the friction grip in the product depends entirely upon the rope being exactly the right diameter and of a construction designed to withstand the immense gripping power of the traction system.
Using with Maxiflex is part of the certification of the machine.
