Age of ropes

If the need arises to determine the accurate age of the rope, the end of the rope may be cut open and the colour (fibre) indicator shall be consulted to determine the year of manufacture. The following is a key to the colour marking of the year of manufacture (this only applies to dynamic ropes produced by LANEX):

  • 1990 red / blue,
  • 1991 red / green
  • 1992 red / black
  • 1993 green
  • 1994 blue
  • 1995 yellow
  • 1996 black
  • 1997 red / yellow
  • 1998 blue / yellow
  • 1999 green / yellow
  • 2000 black / yellow
  • 2001 red / blue
  • 2002 red / green
  • 2003 red / black
  • 2004 green
  • 2005 blue

The colours of the indicators are repeated in 11-year cycles.
If you have any doubts regarding the age of the rope, send us an approx.
22 cm-long sample taken from the end of the rope.
We will provide an accurate identification of the rope for you.
