XLT4 – Loadstar Wire Rope
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.
Under load, XLT4 generates near-zero torque, matching or surpassing the stability of Category 1 35×7 class rotation-resistant wire ropes. Yet, thanks to its unique design, XLT4 is not classified as a “rotation-resistant” rope. You can use it with or without a swivel as a mobile crane hoist rope at design factors as low
