Individual Construction:
8 x 19 (Steel Core)
8 x 36 (Steel Core)
8 outer strands to increase surface contact Standard wire finish (neither compacted nor die-drawn) Larger number of outer wires (8x36) increase rope flexibility Core rope is wound in the SAME direction as outer strands to prevent premature core failure.
Main Applications:
Overhead crane hoisting rope.
Rope Characteristic:
Extremely flexible rope types with up to 288 single wires (8x36) in the outer strands. Better fatigue performance and fatigue life expectancy than 6x19/6x36. Due to the larger number of outer wires these ropes tend to be more sensitive to mechanical damages. All 8-strand constructions require proper sheave- and drum groove dimensions. Undersized and/or worn sheaves will immediately result in rope deformations, waviness, or high strands. These ropes require extra care during installation (no reverse bend spooling). 825 DoPar is a double parallel type which increases metallic fill and breaking strength. Due to the parallel core this construction has a better rope core fatigue characteristic than the standard 8strand types.
Selected sizes available in right regular lay (RRL) AND left regular lay (LRL)
Do NOT use 8x19, 8x36 and DoPar wire rope attached to a swivel. The rope WILL unlay resulting in an unsafe condition. Block Twisting (Cabling) will occur when used exceeding certain lifting heights. Call for advice

Breaking Strengths
Note: The maximum CAPACITY, WORKING LOAD LIMIT (WLL), or LINE PULL of the rope usually is 1/5 of the below stated values. For specific information consult the standards applicable to your rope application.
