In this category you will find steel ropes - available immediately and to order. Many industries use this equipment: from construction, through electrical engineering, to transport. We encourage you to familiarize yourself with the range of steel ropes.

Steel ropes – extreme resistance and flexibility

Steel ropes are made of stainless or carbon steel covered with a layer of zinc. They are resistant to corrosion, mechanical damage, stretching, abrasion and crushing. They can easily withstand both static and dynamic loads. With proper protection, they can be used even in extreme weather conditions and aggressive environments. At the same time, steel ropes are characterized by flexibility of construction. Due to their unique properties, they are used in many industries and applications.

Diameter of the wire rope and other important parameters

Each steel rope has a specific breaking strength, which depends on the diameter and strength of the wires used in the production process. The following are also of great importance for efficiency, durability and safety of work:

• length,
• flexibility,
• anti-corrosion protection,
• resistance to rotation and crushing,
• grease protection.

However, it must be remembered that the thicker the wires, the stiffer the construction.

Rope slings

Rope slings are auxiliary equipment used in industry during lifting, moving and transporting loads. Usually made of galvanized ropes, they are characterized by very good strength and high protection against corrosion. Slings with stainless steel rope are designed for work in difficult environments. The construction of a rope sling contains at least 1 strand terminated with various types of tips. The basic parameter of the solution is the permissible working load (DOR), given by the manufacturer in tons. There are various rope lengths and diameters to choose from. For safety reasons, only certified slings that meet European standards should be purchased.

Accessories for wire ropes

Steel ropes can be complemented by various types of accessories. One of them is a snap hook – a small, opening element in the shape of a ring, which is used for quick and reliable connection of elements and mobile fastening. The snap hook must be adapted to the parameters of the steel rope, in particular its maximum diameter. Another commonly used element is a clamp. It is used to connect and fasten steel ropes, ensuring durable and reliable connections.
