O.K.
to use
 
     
YES, Python® Compac 35 ropes can be used with a swivel at the end. In fact, we suggest you use a swivel during installation and the 'break-in' period to get the rope settled. After the break in period you can lock the swivel to stabilize the rope.
When properly used Python® Compac 35 is stable against block twisting. Fleet angles, small sheaves, small line spacing, low block weight will negatively impact this characteristic.
 

Main Applications:
Main- and auxiliary hoist line for european type mobile- and for all types of construction tower cranes which require a high strength rotation resistant rope construction. Excellent rotation resistant properties make this rope the preferred choice for all single- and multiple line reeving applications.

Rope Characteristic:
This rope is constructed from 15-17 outer die-drawn strands over 12 inner die-drawn strands. The compacted Lang Lay strands reduce interlocking while spooling onto multiple layer drums as well as inter strand- and inter layer nicking. Improved abrasion resistance because of increased wire surface contacting the sheave.

This rope is suited to be used on tower cranes as well as european made mobile crane models. The large number of outer strands distribute the pressures introduced by sheaves and drum more evenly onto the core minimizing the danger of unexpected rope failures because of undetected core deterioration.

Aside from this safety issue PYTHON® COMPAC 35 satisfies the high-strength requirements of late model tower- and mobile cranes which can NOT be met with neither 19x9 nor 19x19 style ropes. Recommended to be used on grooved drums.

Some sizes of Python® Compac 35 are available in right- AND left hand lay to comply with OEM specifications (Krupp, Demag, Liebherr etc.)

Python® Compac 35 ropes are classified as NON-ROTATING Class I
     
     
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.
     
Non-Rotating Steel Wire Rope, Python® Compac 35
Euro Style – Lang's Lay


Class & Construction:
35 x 7 die-drawn strands
(up to 42 mm / 1-5/8")

35 x 19 die-drawn strands
(over 44 mm / 1-3/4" and up)

Recommended to be used on tower-, european type mobile-, and offshore cranes. Available in left- and right hand lang's lay construction. Recommended if you require a rope for single line hoisting applications.

Due to reduced diameter tolerance to between +2% to +4% it conforms to the tight LEBUS drum specification.

ALLOWED to be used with a swivel.
