SecureFix Direct Galvanised Steel Wire Rope Cable - 16mm - 50M

A 7x19 construction means the wire rope is made of 7 strands, and each strand contains 19 individual wires. This configuration provides a good balance of flexibility and strength, making it suitable for applications where the rope needs to bend frequently.

This wire rope is rated for industrial and general load applications. It is not specifically designed or certified for lifting personnel. Always use equipment certified for lifting people.

The Safe Working Load (SWL) is typically derived from the Minimum Breaking Load (MBL) by applying a safety factor. For general lifting, a common safety factor is 5:1. So, SWL = MBL / 5. For this rope, MBL is 16,400 KGS, so the SWL would be approximately 3,280 KGS. Always consult specific industry standards and application requirements for precise SWL.

Yes, the galvanised coating provides good resistance to corrosion, making it suitable for outdoor use. However, for extremely corrosive environments or prolonged exposure to saltwater, stainless steel wire rope might be a better option.

Store unused portions neatly wound on a spool or in a loose coil in a dry, sheltered area. Avoid sharp bends, kinking, or exposing it to moisture, chemicals, or excessive heat.

Galvanised wire rope has a zinc coating for corrosion resistance, offering good protection for general use. Stainless steel wire rope offers superior corrosion resistance, particularly in harsh or marine environments, but is typically more expensive and may have different flexibility characteristics.

The 1-2 working days refers to the time it takes for the product to be dispatched from the warehouse. Actual delivery time will depend on your location and the shipping method chosen.

Ensure you are using the correct end of the rope. If the issue persists, it may be due to internal damage or extreme cold. Allow the rope to warm up in a moderate temperature environment. For persistent stiffness not related to temperature, consider if the 7x19 construction is sufficient for your needs or if the rope has been over-stressed.

For minor surface rust on galvanised rope, cleaning with a wire brush and applying a suitable wire rope lubricant can help. If corrosion is deep or widespread, especially if it affects the rope's flexibility or strength, the rope should be replaced immediately.

Immediately cease use and replace the rope. Fraying indicates significant wear or damage, compromising its load-bearing capacity. Investigate the cause of the fraying, such as sharp edges in the operating environment or improper handling.

Check pulleys, sheaves, or drums for wear, damage, or incorrect groove size. Ensure the rope is properly seated in its guides and that there is no debris. Clean and lubricate the rope and any moving parts.
