Corrosion-Resistant Wire Rope—Not for Lifting

Choose this stainless steel wire rope for outdoor and washdown applications. This wire rope provides a good balance of abrasion resistance and flexibility. Individual wire strands are preformed to maintain their shape and prevent rope from unraveling when cut.
18-8 stainless steel has good corrosion resistance.
Extra-Flexible Corrosion-Resistant Wire Rope—Not for Lifting

More wires per strand than other wire rope provides the flexibility required for repeat bending over drums and pulleys. Choose this stainless steel wire rope for outdoor and washdown applications. Individual wire strands are preformed to maintain their shape and prevent rope from unraveling when cut. Extra-lubricated wire rope has an additional coating of lubrication for added wear and corrosion resistance.
18-8 stainless steel has good corrosion resistance.
Difficult-to-Bend Corrosion-Resistant Wire Rope—Not for Lifting

Often used as bracing and guy wires, individual strands are thick solid wire for a stiff construction. Choose this stainless steel wire rope for outdoor and washdown applications. Individual wire strands are preformed to maintain their shape and prevent rope from unraveling when cut. Extra-lubricated wire rope has an additional coating of lubrication for added wear and corrosion resistance.
