• 8-strand fatigue resistant construction
  • 8-strand design to outperform 6-strand types
  • PlastGuard® coated core helps prevent inner wire breaks
  • Permanent lubricated core
  • Increased rope life as compared to 8×36

Main Applications

Super-8R is the next step up from regular 8×36 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, fatigue life, and abrasion resistance.

Rope Characteristics

8-strand high performance overhead crane wire rope with a plastic coated core. This special engineered hard plastic prevents metal to metal contact between outer- and inner strands and greatly reduces internal, non-detectable, wear and abrasion resulting in increased fatigue life, plus it provides for permanent core lubrication. This rope is not compacted.

Sheave Contact 6-strand Sheave Contact 8-strand

The 8-strand construction provides an increase in contact points between rope and sheave. Less wear of the rope and of your equipment.

Standard

EN 10264, 12385 where applicable

Python® Super 8 is NOT rotation resistant or non-rotating.

Available in right regular lay (RRL) AND left regular lay (LRL).

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.
