More details on the 8x25 compacted wire rope

Rope with the numbers 8x25 has 8 bundles/strands of 25 wires making up its construction. The difference with compacted rope is that it has been fed through a roller or special machine afterwards, to compact each of these strands and bundles closer together.

This compacted nature adds an extra layer of strength and resistance to this equipment. As the space between strands and bundles has been reduced, there is less friction and abrasion damage.

It also has a good level of resistance against bend fatigue, as well as being easier to handle thanks to its smooth nature. It can withstand shock loading, has less constructional stretch, and have a much lower level of wire breakages.

As you can see, this 8x25 rope has an almost endless array of benefits! We also stock a 6x36 compacted rope as well as many other constructions of wire rope and a wide range of compacted crane ropes.
