• 8-strand fatigue resistant construction
  • ForcePac® design to increase strength
  • Flat outer wires for optimum sheave contact
  • PlastGuard® core helps prevent inner wire breaks
  • Permanent lubricated core

Main Applications

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 in multi layer spooling applications. Also used in looping- or accumulator tower applications as well as a boom hoist rope with luffing jib tower cranes which spool the rope onto multiple layer drums.

Rope Characteristics

8-strand high performance 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.

Type ‘V’ is swage compacted for increased surface contact area between rope and sheave thus reducing sheave and multiple layer drum wear.

Super-8V is up to 30% stronger than regular 6-strand EIPS ropes.

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