SecureFix Direct Galvanised Steel Wire Rope Cable - Silver

'6 X 19' refers to the construction of the rope: 6 strands, each made up of 19 individual wires. 'FC' stands for Fibre Core, indicating that the center of the rope is a synthetic fibre, which provides flexibility.

This rope is generally suited for general purpose use and static loads. For critical overhead lifting applications, consult with a qualified engineer to ensure it meets all safety standards and load requirements for your specific setup.

The required diameter depends on the load it will carry and the fittings you will use. Always check the working load limit (WLL) of the rope and all associated hardware. Consult a professional if unsure.

Yes, the galvanised coating provides excellent resistance to corrosion, making it ideal for marine and saltwater applications. Regular inspection and potential lubrication are still recommended.

This wire rope has a tensile strength of 1960 N/mm² (Newtons per square millimeter).

You will need a heavy-duty wire rope cutter or an abrasive cutting tool like an angle grinder. Standard cutters will not work effectively and can damage the rope.

The lifespan varies greatly depending on the application, frequency of use, environmental conditions, and maintenance. Regular inspection and proper care can significantly extend its service life.

Ensure proper use of thimbles in loops to prevent wear. Check for abrasion points or sharp edges in the application. Use appropriate termination methods.

Verify the correct grade and construction (6x19 FC is designed for flexibility). Ensure tools used for bending are adequate. For very tight bends, consider a more flexible rope construction if application allows.

While galvanised, prolonged exposure to certain chemicals or constant immersion may still cause minor surface rust. Clean the affected area and consider applying a wire rope lubricant for added protection.

Ensure all fittings (shackles, turnbuckles, clips) are correctly sized for the wire rope diameter and rated for the intended load. Check that terminations are secure and correctly installed.
