Re: Forklift Dilemma

We are using belt this year and so far it is working very well. It is much nicer to deal with than cable or chain and very light. Also belt essentially does not stretch. The belt we are using has a kevlar tension member.

Re: Forklift Dilemma

My team this year is doing something similar, we're using super strong Spiderline fishing line (50lb test, no stretch), but we have issues with stops for the slides. Does anyone know of anything that works for stops on the standard KOP slides?

Re: Forklift Dilemma

you can get pre-stretched polypropylene rope, that has almost all of the stretch eliminated

Re: Forklift Dilemma

No, I meant something that works well for slide stops, I already have some fishing line that appears to be indestructible.
