READY HANK is a specialized factory coiling process that packages ARMBURY dynamic ropes so they can be deployed immediately out of the box — without the time-consuming uncoiling, flaking, and re-coiling that new ropes typically require. The process uses a specific winding technique that prevents the rope from developing twist memory or kinks during storage and shipping.
A standard rope coil wound on a spool introduces twist — pulling from the spool adds one twist per wrap, creating kinks when the rope is loaded
Professional users lose 15–30 minutes flaking a new rope to remove storage twist before first use
Kinks and twists in a new rope cause it to feed poorly through devices, creating friction points and catching hazards
In emergency deployment scenarios (rescue operations, job site replacements), the rope needs to function immediately
Rather than winding the finished rope onto a standard spool (which introduces rotational twist), READY HANK uses a figure-eight or butterfly coiling pattern during packaging. This technique cancels out twist by alternating the winding direction with each loop. The coiled rope is then secured with ties at specific intervals to maintain the pattern during shipping. When the end user opens the packaging, the rope can be pulled from the coil without twist accumulation.
Especially valuable for rescue teams and professional crews requiring immediate deployment.
Standard on all ARMBURY dynamic ropes. Saves deployment time and extends rope lifespan by preventing twist-induced fiber stress from first use.
