This SecureFix Direct Galvanised Wire Rope Cable (4mm x 100M) is designed for professionals and DIYers in industrial, marine, and transportation sectors needing a strong, durable, and corrosion-resistant cable for lifting and securing applications. Its key benefit is its high tensile strength and galvanised finish, ensuring longevity even in harsh, wet environments. A potential caveat is its stiffness due to the 4mm diameter, which may limit its use in applications requiring extreme flexibility.

The galvanised finish provides excellent resistance to rust and corrosion, significantly extending the lifespan of the wire rope, especially when used in outdoor, marine, or damp environments.
The rope has a breaking load of 1040KG. It is suitable for lifting applications within this limit, provided it is used correctly, properly terminated, and inspected regularly for wear. Always consult safety guidelines for lifting operations.
The 7x7 construction offers moderate flexibility. However, at 4mm diameter, it is considered relatively stiff. It's suitable for applications not requiring extreme bending or tight radii.
Yes, the galvanised finish makes it resistant to corrosion, making it suitable for marine applications, including saltwater. However, regular rinsing with fresh water and occasional lubrication are recommended for maximum longevity.
You will need heavy-duty wire rope cutters or a metal-cutting hacksaw with a fine-tooth blade. Always wear safety glasses and gloves.
It is best to store the wire rope on its original reel in a dry, protected area, away from direct sunlight and moisture, to maintain its condition and prevent damage.
The wire rope has a tensile strength of 1770 N/mm².
This is typical for 4mm 7x7 construction wire rope. Ensure you are using appropriate tools for manipulation and termination. For applications requiring greater flexibility, consider a rope with a higher strand count (e.g., 7x19) and a smaller diameter if suitable for the load.
While galvanised, prolonged exposure to harsh chemicals or highly corrosive environments can still affect the finish. Clean the affected area with a mild detergent and water, dry thoroughly, and consider applying a light coat of wire rope specific lubricant for added protection.
Ensure the correct number of clamps are used for the application and that they are spaced appropriately. Check that the U-bolt is on the 'dead' end of the rope and the saddle is on the 'live' end. Tighten the nuts evenly and re-tighten after the rope has been under load.
Use high-quality, heavy-duty wire rope cutters designed for the diameter. Ensure the blades are sharp. If using a hacksaw, use a fine-tooth blade and secure the rope firmly to prevent vibration.
