GALVANISED WIRE ROPE 19 × 7 (18 × 7 WSC)

Description

Elevate your lifting and rigging operations with Marvisons' premium GALVANISED WIRE ROPE 19×7 (often referred to as 18×7 WSC). This specialized steel wire rope is engineered for applications demanding excellent flexibility, superior rotation resistance, and robust corrosion protection. Its unique construction minimizes spin and kinking, making it a reliable choice for critical hoisting and lifting tasks.

The 19x7 construction (often classified as 18x7 Wire Strand Core or WSC due to its inner core strands) features 19 outer strands, each with 7 wires, laid around a central independent wire rope core. This design ensures that the outer strands are laid in one direction while the inner core is laid in the opposite direction, effectively counteracting torque and significantly reducing the rope's tendency to rotate under load. The heavy galvanisation process provides a durable zinc coating, offering outstanding protection against rust and environmental degradation, making it perfect for marine, offshore, and other harsh conditions.

Key Features & Benefits:

• Rotation Resistant: Designed to minimize or counteract rotation under load, providing stable lifting and preventing kinking, especially with unguided loads.
• High Flexibility: The 19x7 strand configuration offers exceptional flexibility, allowing for smooth operation over sheaves and drums, and superior bending fatigue resistance.
• Superior Galvanisation: A robust zinc coating ensures outstanding corrosion resistance, making it ideal for outdoor, marine, and humid environments.
• Durable Wire Strand Core (WSC): The all-steel construction (including the core) provides higher metallic area, enhancing strength and resistance to crushing.
• Reliable Breaking Load: Engineered for safety and performance in demanding lifting and hoisting applications.
• Smooth Operation: Reduces wear on equipment due to its balanced construction and flexibility.

Ideal for:

• Crane Ropes (especially single-fall or multi-part lines where rotation is an issue)
• Hoisting Applications
• Winch Ropes (where non-rotation is critical)
• Marine and Offshore Operations
• Dredging Ropes
• Excavator Ropes
• Industrial Lifting Equipment
• General Engineering where stable lifting is required.
