Overhead Crane- and General Purpose Wire Rope types |
| |
|
|
 |
|
Class
6x19
Wear and crush resistant rope but not very flexible. Used as winch line,
boom pendants, boom hoist rope, anchor lines. Also used as hoisting rope
on older type overhead cranes. Standard rope for UNI-LOC® Wire Rope
Slings. |
| |
 |
|
Class
6x37
Flexible standard hoisting rope for many overhead crane types. One of the
most versatile low strength-low cost rope constructions. Also used for larger
size UNI-LOC® wire rope slings. |
| |
 |
|
Compac®
6-strand die-drawn
Compacted die-drawn rope used as main hoist and boom hoist rope on mobile,
tower and crawler cranes and on overhead cranes. Recommended for heavy use
or where conditions require a crush resistant type on multi layer drums. |
| |
 |
|
Python®
Construct-6
High strength 6-strand rope for applications which require a crush resistant
rope to be used on multiple layer winding systems. Because constructional
stretch is near zero it can be used where a 'pre-stretched' rope would be
required. |
| |
 |
|
8x19
/ 8x26 / 8x36
Original equipment rope for DEMAG cranes. Available in left- and right hand
lay. Also used on many other overhead crane types. Very flexible but requires
some extra care during installation. Not crush resistant due to very fine
outer wires. |

Python®
Super 8R
Super-8R is the next step up from regular 8x36 wire rope for overhead cranes with the ability to operate with fleet angles up to 4°. The 8-strand construction provides an excellent combination of flexibility and performance. |
| |
 |
|
Python®
Super 8C
Super 8C is a classic 'upgrade' rope for all overhead crane types for increased
rope service life performance while maintaining the ability to operate with
fleet angles up to 4°. The 8-strand construction provides an excellent
combination of flexibility, fatigue life and abrasion resistance.
This rope is also the idea choice for container- and port cranes. We can
provide this rope in 'dual-tensile strength' by which the outer strand wires
are made from higher fatigue resistant steel. |
| |
 |
|
Python® Super 8V
Super 8V is an upgrade rope for all overhead crane types which require a stronger rope to increase the crane capacity while maintaining the ability to operate with fleet angles of up to 4°. The 8-strand construction provides an excellent combination of flexibility and abrasion resistance. Also used in looping- or accumulator tower applications. |
| |
 |
|
Python®
Multi
Developed for maximum performance on overhead cranes. This rope features
a plastic coated core for extended fatigue life performance and permanent
core lubrication. Python® Multi is spin resistant to reduce block twisting
on overhead cranes. Recommended for looping- or accumulator tower applications. |
| |
 |
|
Python®
Power-9
All steel high strength type for overhead cranes. This rope is swage compacted
to enhance abrasion characteristic and to reduce sheave- and drum wear.
Up to 40% strength increase over standard 6-strand constructions. |
| |
 |
|
Python®
Ultra
Ultra high strength type mainly used as high fatigue resistant rope for
engineered cable assemblies. Up to 55% strength increase over standard 6-strand
constructions. Sensitive to introduced rotation so call before you select
this rope for overhead crane applications. |

Rotation Resistant and Non-Rotating Wire Rope types |
| |
 |
|
8x19
spin resistant
Old type spin-resistant construction used primarily in the construction
industry. This type has the tendency to break up from the inside and to
fail unexpectedly. We believe this is a dubious rope to be used as a spin
resistant type and therefore DO NOT RECOMMEND IT TO BE USED. |
| |
 |
|
19x7
rotation resistant
Standard rotation-resistant rope type mainly used on mobile cranes. NOT
to be used with a swivel. If allowed to rotate freely (e.g. single line
application) this type will loose between 30% to 40% of its strength. Tends
to deteriorate from the inside out due to premature core wire breaks. |
| |
 |
|
Python®
UNI-4; 4-strand crush- and rotation resistant
Very robust 4-strand wire rope which is compacted resulting in flat outer
strands for increased abrasion resistance. This rope is spin-resistant and
is used as hoisting rope for bulk ship cranes as well as on heavy duty construction
equipment like pile drivers. |
| |
 |
|
Python®
Compac 18 rotation resistant
Same design geometry as 19x7 but due to a larger number of individual wires
it is more flexible. The rope is strand compacted to provide for better
drum spooling and less mechanical interlocking at the cross-over points.
Recommended as standard rope type for Grove-, Terex-, National-, Century-
and other US made truck- and mobile cranes. Python® Compac 18 is a rotation
resistant rope and should only be used where these demands are low or moderate.
NOT to be used in high cycle- high fatigue applications and NOT to be used
with a swivel. |
| |
 |
|
Python®
Compac 35 non-rotating
Recommended to be used on tower- and european type mobile cranes. Available
in left- and right hand lay as well as in regular- and lang's lay constructions.
Recommended to be used in single line applications. ALLOWED to be used with
a swivel. |
| |
 |
|
Python®
Hoist non-rotating plastic coated core
Medium strength, high fatigue resistant non-rotating type. Compacting increases
strength and sheave contact area. The plastic coated core increases fatigue
life and prevents premature inner wire breaks as well as providing for permanent
core lubrication. ALLOWED to be used with a swivel.
Popular as ship crane main hoist rope. |
| |
 |
|
Python®
Lift non-rotating compacted
High strength super flexible true non-rotating rope. Oval outer strands
provide for excellent sheave and drum contact area. Lift has very successfully
been used in multiple drum layer applications. Needs special attention during
installation. ALLOWED to be used with a swivel.
Used on many Manitowoc cranes. |

Galvanized and Stainless Steel so called 'Aircraft Cable'
|
| |
 |
|
Galvanized
Cable (Carbon Steel)
General purpose flexible cables with a steel core. Available from 1/16"
to 3/8" diameter for a multitude of applications. These cables are
galvanized to better resist corrosion and are not lubricated for a clean
appearance. |
| |
 |
|
Stainless
Steel Wire Rope and Cable
Smaller sizes up 1/8" contain 49 wires, sizes up to 3/8" contain
133 wire. Made from 302/304 stainless steel. |
| |
|
|
 |
|
PVC
Coated Galvanized Cable
Same basic construction as above but is coated with PVC or Nylon and is
available in various colours. |
