Introducing the Robust 12.5 mm PMI® Extreme Plus™ (G) Rope – A New Standard in Rescue Gear
PMI Technical Team
Hey, rescue heroes! We’re super pumped to unveil a true game-changer in rescue operations – the 12.5 mm PMI® Extreme Plus™ (G) Rope with UNICORE® technology. Trust us, this isn’t your ordinary rope; it’s a groundbreaking leap in rescue gear innovation that you’ve got to see to believe.
Light, Mighty, and Action-Ready
Every detail matters when you’re out in the field, and we’ve dialed in every specification for peak performance:
- Featherlight Precision: At just 113 g/m, maneuvering this rope is a breeze.
- Mighty Strength: With an MBS of 46.4kN (10,431 lbf), it’s strong enough to handle the unexpected.
- Customizable Lengths: Choose from 183 m (600 ft), 46 m (150 ft), 61 m (200 ft), or 92 m (300 ft) – because one size doesn’t fit all when it comes to rescues.
Engineered for the Extreme
Our rope’s elasticity is optimized for the toughest jobs:
- Elongation: 1.3% at 300 lbf, 2.4% at 600 lbf, and 4.6% at 1000 lbf – it stretches to support, not to stress.
Unwavering Trust in Every Fiber
Your safety is our priority. That’s why we adhere to the most stringent standards:
- Compliance (pending): ANSI Z359.15 (2014), NFPA 12500 (2022), G – because being up-to-code means being up-to-task.
The Power of UNICORE®
Sheath slippage? Not on our watch. The sheath and core of our rope are inseparably bonded, offering unmatched integrity and safety – even if the sheath takes a hit, you can count on the core.
Ease and Dependability in Your Hands
Durable yet supple, our rope promises a handling experience that’s second to none, ensuring you can perform at your best with gear that does the same.
Versatility Meets Reliability
The 12.5 mm PMI® Extreme Plus™ (G) Rope thrives across the board:
- Tailor-Made for Rescue: Ideal for Fire Rescue, Technical Rescue, Confined Space, and Tower Rescue.
- Material Mastery: A top-grade Polyester/Nylon blend that’s tough as nails and ready for action.
Get set to redefine the possibilities with our new rescue rope. The 12.5 mm PMI® Extreme Plus™ (G) Rope isn’t just built for the challenge; it’s here to set a new benchmark for what rescue gear should be.
PMI Rope: Exceptional Quality, Uncompromising Performance.

what is life span for this rope?
LOUI MCCURLEY
Great question!
Rope longevity is quite subjective, as it largely depends on how it is used, what sorts of damage to which it may be exposed, and the kinds of loads to which it is subjected. While some data suggest that unused, properly stored nylon ropes such as this can retain strength properties for more than a decade, we also know that the material can be damaged in a single instance by such things as heat, abrasion, cutting, and high loads.
For this reason, we suggest that users be trained by a competent person and establish good control procedures for using, storing, and inspecting life safety rope. Most reputable professional rescue and rope access courses cover such information, and it is also recommended to gain experience under the tutelage of an experienced rope technician over time.
ASTM F1740-96 Standard Guide for Inspection of Nylon, Polyester, or Nylon/Polyester Blend, or Both Kernmantle Rope, provides excellent information and guidance on rope inspection.
At PMI, we recommend inspecting rope before each use as well as a more thorough periodic inspection, in accordance with regulatory and standards guidance. All PMI Ropes (including 12.5mm Extreme Plus) are provided with sample rope inspection logs, where such information can be recorded for ongoing reference.
While we would love to be able to provide a definitive lifespan, the fact is that longevity is largely dictated by the nature and environment in which rope is used. If you have further or specific questions, please do not hesitate to reach out.
