General Purpose
The 6 x 19 classification of wire ropes includes standard 6 strand, round strand ropes with 16 through 26 wires per strand. The 6 x 36 classification of wire ropes includes standard 6 strand, round strand ropes with 27 through 49 wires per strand. Although their operating characteristics vary, all have the same weight per foot and the same minimum breaking force, size for size.

Rotation-resistant ropes can frequently provide the best and most economical service in specific applications when you choose, handle and use them properly.
Contra-helically laid, rotation-resistant ropes are different from standard ropes because they’re designed to reduce rope torque. Modes

Standard constructions are regular lay and either 19 Seale or 25 Filler Wire. The size relationship between strands and core gives these wire ropes increased bendability over 6 strand ropes of the same diameter. It has less crushing resistance than a 6 strand wire rope.

We offer 7-Flex ropes for many applications that currently use 6 x 19 or 6 x 36 classification ropes. Their operating characteristics are similar in many ways to 6 x 36 classification ropes. Typical applications such as container cranes, logging portal cranes and sawmill carriages have reported increased service life

What sets XLT4 Loadstar wire rope apart is its unique design. Our PowerSteel Technology double packs more high-tensile steel wire into the rope’s diameter, giving XLT4 one of the highest strength-to-diameter ratios ever achieved — with a minimum breaking force 33% higher than standard 6-strand XIP ropes.

Most applications for wire rope are extremely demanding. Wire rope must resist crushing, bending fatigue and abrasion. For example, clamshell closing lines must resist bending fatigue and boom hoists are subject to pressures that cause crushing. Overhead hoists test the stability and strength of a wire rope. All
