Wire rope, also known as steel cable or wire cable, is a type of flexible and durable cable made from multiple strands of metal wire twisted or braided together to form a helical structure. These strands are typically made from high-strength steel, providing excellent tensile strength and resistance to abrasion, corrosion, and fatigue. Wire ropes are used in a wide range of applications where strong, reliable, and flexible connections are required, such as lifting and rigging operations, suspension bridges, elevators, and cable cars. They come in various constructions, including twisted, braided, and multi-stranded configurations, with different designs and sizes tailored to specific applications and load requirements. Wire ropes are essential components in many industries, providing safe and efficient solutions for lifting, pulling, and supporting heavy loads.
