Main Applications

Compac® 6 is recommended for heavy use or where conditions are abusive and/or abrasive. Overhead cranes, crawler cranes, lattice boom cranes, truck crane rope, multipart hoist lines where rotation resistant ropes are NOT required. Because of it's very good crush resistance 6-strand COMPAC® is particularly recommended for use on multi-layer drum application.

Rope Characteristics

Hi-Pac™ strand surface minimizes inter strand- and inter layer nicking that takes place in standard 6-strand ropes. The COMPAC® design provides excellent abrasion and crush resistance. Abrasion resistance is enhanced because of the increased wire and strand surfaces contacting sheaves and drums. When used in multilayer drum winding operations COMPAC® greatly reduces damage at the crossover points from one rope wrap to the next.

Standard

ASTM 1023/A 1023M, Table 29

Compac® 6 type ropes are NOT rotation resistant or non-rotating.

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.
