Samson Amsteel Blue
Looking for an easy to work with, high-strength alternative to steel cable for your winch line? Try Amsteel Blue and see why professionals use it for their winches.
Samson Amsteel Blue is an incredible, high-strength rope made to replace steel cable in winches. Amsteel Blue offers incredible strength but is so lightweight it will float in water. This incredible strength to weight ratio comes from Amsteel Blue's 12 strand Dyneema SK-75 fiber construction. Amsteel is easy to splice with a class 2 12 strand splice; you can quickly splice it right in the field.
Amsteel Blue features superior resistance to flex, fatigue, and wear. Amsteel Blue is most commonly used by arborists and tree care companies as a winch line for the winch on the company chipper or truck. The high strength of Amsteel Blue makes it the best choice when entire trees need to be lifted or redirected. Amsteel Blue is available in 5/16", 3/8", and 1/2" diameters. Other sizes are available by special order if you contact us.
Please note that Amsteel Blue behaves differently than normal rope and maintains the most strength when used with a spliced termination and Blueline Thimble. Tied knots may severely reduce the breaking strength of Amsteel Blue.

Samson Blueline Thimbles
These thimbles are specially designed to work with the high-loads possible with Amsteel Blue. Regular steel thimbles can be crushed under the weight applied to an Amsteel blue rope, so a Blueline thimble is necessary to handle the high loads.
