Extra-Flexible Wire Rope

7 × 19 Strand Core

Wind this wire rope onto a winch or drum to pull and tow vehicles, trailers, and more. It contains more than twice as many individual wires as standard wire rope to bend easily without wear. All rope is manufactured in the U.S.

Warning: Not for overhead lifting.

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—Strand cores are more crush and impact-resistant than fiber cores, but fiber core ropes bend more easily and absorb shock.

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.

Coated Wire Rope

7 × 7 Strand Core

Hang fixtures and tether equipment without scratching hooks and other nearby objects. The plastic coating on this wire rope prevents abrasion while further protecting the inner wires from corrosion and damage. All rope is manufactured in the U.S.

Warning: Not for overhead lifting.

Galvanized Steel—The outer layer resists moisture but can wear down when exposed to salt water and chemicals.

FEP Coating—Our most chemical-resistant coating stands up to the harshest acids and bases.

Nylon Coating—Resists abrasion better than other coatings. It also stands up to mild chemicals, but will swell if exposed to moisture.

Vinyl Plastic Coating—Ideal for outdoor use and prolonged exposure to the sun, this coating resists damage from UV rays.

Wire Rope Construction—Strand cores are more crush and impact-resistant than hollow cores. However, you can run electrical wiring or fluid conduit through hollow core ropes.

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.

Wire Rope

7 × 7 Strand Core

The most common wire rope for hanging fixtures, tethering equipment, and constructing barriers. It balances flexibility and abrasion resistance —you can bend it if needed, but it has fewer wires that could break over time, so it lasts longer.

Warning: Not for overhead lifting.

Galvanized Steel—The outer layer resists moisture but can wear down when exposed to salt water and chemicals.

Ultra-Corrosion-Resistant Nickel Copper—Our most corrosion-resistant wire rope. It outlasts 316 stainless steel to withstand harsh washdowns and prolonged exposure to salt water, acids, and caustic cleaning solutions.

Wire Rope Construction—Strand cores are more crush and impact-resistant than hollow cores. However, you can run electrical wiring or fluid conduit through hollow core ropes.

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 Coated Wire Rope

Pull and tow loads without marring nearby surfaces. With more than twice as many individual wires as standard options, this wire rope is easier to bend and wind onto winches and drums without wear. The plastic coating protects the inner wires from corrosion and damage, while shielding nearby objects from scratches. All rope is manufactured in the U.S.

Warning: Not for overhead lifting.

FEP Coating—Our most chemical-resistant coating stands up to the harshest acids and bases.

Semi-Flexible Wire Rope

1 × 7 Strand Core

1 × 19 Strand Core

Support utility poles, scaffolding, and masts with our most rigid wire rope. Formed with fewer and thicker wires than other rope, it won't bend easily, keeping fixtures upright and stable under tension.

Warning: Not for overhead lifting.

Galvanized Steel—The outer layer resists moisture but can wear down when exposed to salt water and chemicals.

Wire Rope Construction—Strand core rope is crush and impact-resistant.

Nonsparking Wire Rope

6 × 7 Fiber Core

Made of phosphor bronze to inhibit sparks that can ignite flammable dusts, liquids, or vapors. Use this wire rope everywhere from chemical plants to oil refineries to avoid a fire or explosion.

Warning: Not for overhead lifting.

Wire Rope Construction—Strand cores are more crush and impact-resistant than fiber cores, but fiber core ropes bend more easily and absorb shock.

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.
