Our ropes have been the focus of military and first responders since our inception. We work hand in hand with these groups to engineer ropes made specifically for the technical and high abuse situations they subject ropes to, often while the project is still confidential. In most cases these organizations specify our ropes by name when going out for public bid.

 This level of trust is earned, not given. Our ropes deliver when lives are on the line. The dynamic and static ropes these groups use need to be abrasion resistant, long lasting and lightweight. In certain situations, they may also require cut resistance, flame retardant fibers, and the ability to float just beneath the surface of the water or other special camouflage colors.

For these groups MAXIM^® offers military specific colors to our dynamic rope portfolio like the Apex OD green 11 mm. Please contact our sales team directly for more options, as those are not published in the catalog or on the website. 

 When it comes to rappelling or bailing out of critical situations, static ropes are the right choice. The superior static rope KM III from Teufelberger is available in black and OD green in various diameters. Check www.teufelberger.com.

When weight is a critical factor in operations thin ropes with high breaking force like the 3mm and 5mm Tech Cord become more and more common for rappelling. We also have accessory cords in tactical colors available like Nylon or Polyester Accessory Cord or Prusik Cord. 

For some ropes being made in the USA also allows MAXIM to produce many ropes that are Berry Compliant. These are 100% manufactured in the US using US components.
