Recommendations for Crane Applications

Let us show you the ropes you'll need to keep your cranes working. On the following charts, you'll see the wire ropes we recommend for your many different applications. Your specific application may vary, of course, and that's why you can depend on a world leader such as WireCo WorldGroup to help you choose the right rope.

IMPORTANT NOTE WHEN CHANGING ROPES:
When you use a standard rope, make sure the minimum breaking force is equal To or higher than the rope it replaces. If you change from a standard rope to a rotation-resistant rope, the required design factor is changed. ANSI/ASME B30.5 requires a design factor of 3.5 for standard ropes and a design factor of 5.0 for rotation-resistant ropes. If you change from a standard rope to a rotation-resistant rope on a crane, make sure the crane's load charts are updated.
