Lifting cable KASTER 18G1,5 black 0552 003 05

Hoist Cable – Reliability and Safety in Lifting

The KASTER 18G1,5 cable is a specialized cable designed for use in hoisting, conveying, and winch equipment. Its construction, integrated with two steel wires, enables safe suspension and reliable connection between control cassettes and working devices. This cable is primarily used in enclosed environments where high mechanical resistance and flexibility are required.

Construction and Application

The KASTER cable features a unique design. It consists of 18 insulated stranded conductors arranged in layers around a central core. Each layer is wrapped with fiber for additional protection. The conductors are marked with white numbers on a black background, while the outer protective conductor is green-yellow for easy identification. Key elements are two hot-dip galvanized steel wires running along the cable’s axis, forming an integral part of the structure and enabling direct suspension. The entire assembly is encased in a durable rubber-grade PVC sheath in black RAL 9005, providing resistance to mechanical damage and environmental conditions.

This type of cable is ideal for applications requiring both electrical and mechanical connection—for example, in material lifting systems, crane movement control, or construction machinery. It enables safe transmission of power and control signals while simultaneously ensuring stable cable support.

Advantages and Benefits

• Integrated steel wires: Eliminate the need for additional mounting components, simplifying installation and enhancing safety.
• Durable PVC sheath: Provides protection against mechanical damage, moisture, and atmospheric conditions.
• Marked conductors: Facilitate easy identification during installation and servicing.
• Flexible construction: Allows smooth routing even under demanding operating conditions.
• Designed for indoor use: Ensures optimal performance in typical industrial environments.
• Specifically suited for hoisting equipment: Engineered for seamless integration with crane control cassettes, conveyors, and winches.
• Enhanced safety: Thanks to the green-yellow protective conductor and robust mechanical construction.

The KASTER cable is the ideal solution for installers seeking a reliable and safe cable for hoisting applications, and for end-users expecting a high-quality product that ensures long-term, trouble-free operation.
