COMPACTED

Wire rope

feature compressed strands that deliver maximum breaking strength, a smoother outer profile, and superior resistance to drum crushing in heavy-duty lifting operations.

  • Compacted strands pack more steel into the same nominal diameter, offering a significantly higher breaking load compared to standard wire ropes of equal size.

  • The smooth, flattened outer profile creates a larger contact area, drastically reducing groove wear on sheaves, winches, and hoist drums.

  • Flat outer strand contours resist deformation, flattening, and wire interlocking during multi-layer drum spooling under heavy line pull.

  • Reduced internal notch stresses between individual wires combined with superior external abrasion resistance ensure longer service life in high-cycle applications.
