| Main Applications:
This rope has become very popular as hoisting rope for ship deck cranes.
Also used on high cycle tower- and overhead cranes. Plastic coated core
prevents premature inner wire breaks. Hoist is a medium strength non-rotating
wire rope.
Rope Characteristic:
Constructed from 17 outer strands over a 2-layer 24 strand plastic coated
core. The plastic coating prevents metal to metal contact between outer-
and inner strands and thus nearly 100% reducing the chance of undetectable
inner wire- or strand failures. Plus, the plastic shield locks in factory
applied core lubrication. That is pretty fancy, I say!
This rope is recommended for applications with high dynamic fatigue loads
where otherwise the core might fail. The plastic core shield acts like
a shock absorber much like in other Python® rope types.
Python® Hoist requires grooved drums, preferable with LEBUS grooving.

| Increased contact points between
rope and sheave results in less internal rope pressure and less rope
and sheave wear. |
