With the outer strands compressed with great force around the central steel core, our 20mm 6x36 compacted wire rope is an excellent choice for heavier lifting, while also minimising any abrasion that might occur during use.
If you need to lug loads weighing up to 35.6 tonnes, then this 6x36 compacted wire rope with a 20mm diameter will be a suitable investment. The compaction process gives the external surface of the rope a rounder, smoother finish than you will find on non-compacted alternatives, which also assists with reducing wear and tear, as mentioned earlier.
The slimmer and smoother qualities of the 20mm compacted rope means that it could be the ideal choice if you are going to use a sheave and pulley system, as the rope will glide through easier. Additionally handling the steel cable is much easier.
Compacted wire rope is narrower yet stronger than equivalent ropes of the same size, so it is a reliable and efficient investment.
