Main Applications

Overhead crane hoisting rope.

Rope Characteristics

Extremely flexible rope types with up to 288 single wires (8x36) in the outer strands. Better fatigue performance and fatigue life expectancy than 6x19/6x36. Due to the larger number of outer wires these ropes tend to be more sensitive to mechanical damages.

All 8-strand constructions require proper sheave- and drum groove dimensions. Undersized and/or worn sheaves will immediately result in rope deformations, waviness, or high strands. These ropes require extra care during installation (no reverse bend spooling).

Standard

DIN 3062/3067
ISO 2408
ASTM A1023M

These 8-strand rope types are NOT spin/rotation resistant or non-rotating.
Selected sizes are available in right regular lay (RRL) AND left regular lay (LRL) to be used in pairs to prevent block twisting and damage due to incorrect drum groove match. DO NOT replace just one rope, always replace the complete set of both lay directions.
