Wire Rope

6 x 19 (Go to Online Catalog)
Classification Wire Ropes provide an excellent balance between fatigue and wear resistance. It is a very popular, general purpose rope that will give long service with moderately sized sheaves and drums, and is often used for hoists, boom hoists, haulage ropes and slings.

Wire Rope

6 x 37 (Go to Online Catalog)
Classification Wire Ropes have a third layer of wires which make them more flexible, although less abrasion-resistant than ropes of the 6 x 19 class. Each strand contains numerous, comparatively small diameter wires which offer superior bending ability. As the number of wires in each strand increases, flexibility increases. Often used on winches and as hoist ropes on overhead and mobile cranes.

Rotation-Resistant Wire Rope is a special class of rope designed to resist the tendency to spin or rotate under load. This is achieved by laying 6 strands around the core in one direction, then laying 12 strands around the first operation in another direction. It is often used for hoisting unguided loads with a single part rope. This unique design does, however, impose certain limitations on the rope's application and handling.

Small Diameter Specialty Wire


Wire Rope

7 x 19 Stainless Steel Aircraft Cable Type 304 (Go to Online Catalog)
Is selected for its excellent corrosion-resistant qualities and is often used in light hoisting and rigging applications. Its chromium content forms an impervious protective barrier against corrosive environments. More expensive and weaker than comparably sized galvanized aircraft cable.

7 x 19 Galvanized Aircraft Cable (Go to Online Catalog)
Is a common industry term for small diameter, corrosion-resistant, zinc-coated wire rope originally designed for aeronautical applications. It is a flexible and inexpensive cable used on winches, guy lines and numerous other commercial, industrial and marine applications.
Wire Rope
Also available with a flexible, vinyl P.V.C. coating to extend the cable's life by protecting wires from abrasion, dirt, grit and moisture, sealing in lubrication and reducing wear on sheaves and pulleys. Also protects hands, clothes and other materials it contacts.

High Performance Wire Rope


Wire Rope

Constructex® Rope
Is a coreless rope made of three 7-wire strands, three 24-wire strands and three 40-wire strands which are closed in one operation and lightly swaged to give the finished strands a triangular shape. The result of this unique construction is a rope that gives longer life, less wear on both rope and equipment, higher strength, increased crush resistance and improved flexibility.
