    Ultra-Flexible Wire Rope for Lifting

    Image of Product. Front orientation. CrossSection view. Wire Rope. Ultra-Flexible Wire Rope for Lifting.
    Our most flexible wire rope. It contains the most individual wires within it, so it can bend around a small radius repeatedly without wear. Loop it around small pulleys and sheaves to lift and suspend equipment and materials.
    Warning: Never use wire rope to lift people or items over people.
    Galvanized Steel—The outer layer resists moisture but can wear down when exposed to salt water and chemicals.
    18-8 Stainless Steel—With solid stainless steel construction, this wire rope has no plating that could wear away. It resists rust, but it won't hold up to the harsh chemicals that 316 stainless steel can.
    Wire Rope Construction—Independent Wire Rope Core (IWRC) is the strongest wire rope construction.
    Preformed—With each wire shaped into a spiral before being twisted onto the rope, they maintain their shape when cut. This keeps them from unraveling or poking equipment and users.

    Extra-Flexible Wire Rope with Reinforced Loop for Lifting

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Wire Rope. Extra-Flexible Wire Rope with Reinforced Loop for Lifting.
    A reinforced loop, also known as a thimble eye, quickly attaches to a hook or shackle for lifting jobs. With more than twice as many individual wires as standard options, this wire rope is also easier to bend and wind onto winches and drums without wear.
    Warning: Never use wire rope to lift people or items over people.
    Steel—Best for dry environments since moisture will cause this wire rope to rust.
