Do NOT use 8x19, 8x25 and 8x36 wire rope attached to a swivel. The rope WILL unlay resulting in an unsafe condition.

Block Twisting (Cabling) will occur when used exceeding certain lifting heights. Call for advice
 
 

Main Applications:
Overhead crane hoisting rope.

Rope Characteristic:
Extremely flexible rope types with up to 288 single wires (8x36) in the outer strands. Better fatigue performance and fatigue life expectancy than 6x19/6x36. Due to the larger number of outer wires these ropes tend to be more sensitive to mechanical damages.

All 8-strand constructions require proper sheave- and drum groove dimensions. Undersized and/or worn sheaves will immediately result in rope deformations, waviness, or high strands. These ropes require extra care during installation (no reverse bend spooling).

Standard:
ASTM 1023, Table 17, 18
EN 12385-4.8, 12385-4.10
ISO 2408

These 8-strand rope types are NOT rotation resistant or non-rotating

Selected sizes available in right regular lay (RRL) AND left regular lay (LRL)
     
     
Breaking Strengths
Note: The maximum CAPACITY, WORKING LOAD LIMIT (WLL), or LINE PULL of the rope usually is 1/5 of the below stated values. For specific information consult the standards applicable to your rope application.
