The Wire Rope history reaches the 19th century, which means it is well-known and in everyday use by many professionals worldwide. The Steel Wire Rope consists of several strands of metal twisted together. When the strands are closed over a central core, we are in the discovery of producing a rope. It provides a sturdy means for lifting and lowering loads reliably and safely. Several different sizes of Wires offer support to users in terms of maximum corrosion protection and excellent resistance to abrasion. Wire Cables provide flexibility for many construction projects that are essential to run your business. We are proudly introducing our won branded RS PRO Galvanised Metal Wire Rope with an impressive safe working load up to 208 kg. The length of the Wire Rope is 75 metres, and it consists of 6 strands and seven wires. The diameter of the Wire is 4 mm and it meets ISO BS EN 12385-4 standards. These wires and ropes are not suitable for general lifting use as the primary intention are to secure and support applications. For lifting slings and chains, see a range of Straps, Slings and Chains within this section. Our Steel Wires have their recognition in demanding conditions and conform to all RoHS compliant.

The Wire Ropes have their place market in the following areas:

• Maritime use


• Any industrial applications


• Architectural systems, such as rigging, hoists or winches


• The Wire Rope is for general use steel

What is the difference between Cable and Wire Rope?

The general rule is that if the Wire Ropes diameters are more substantial then 3/8 inch (9.525 mm) the classification set it as a Wire Rope, but if it is lower than 3/8 inch we are dealing with a Cable or Cords.

What should I consider when selecting/buying Wire Rope?

1. Check the Strength parameters
2. Verify what the resistance is
3. What is the bendability
4. Determine the resistance to crushing and metal loss & deformation along with resistance to rotation and corrosion

These wires and ropes are not suitable for general lifting use, they are intended for securing and supporting applications only. For lifting slings and chains, see range of Straps, Slings and Chains within this section.
