Compared to ropes like nylon or polyester, poly rope is generally lighter, more affordable, and floats in water, making it great for jobsite use. Its lightweight design makes it easier to handle on-site, and its cost-effectiveness is ideal for jobs where rope may be discarded or replaced frequently.
