Strength is 10% higher than 6 x 19 class


XIP IWRC ropes of the same diameter.

Resistance to bending fatigue


is significantly increased.

Stability created by high density strands and the


smooth outer surface is exceptional, with increased
resistance to drum scrubbing and abrasion.

Resistance to crushing is increased by a high


density wire rope structure. An ideal rope for
multi-part hoists where rotation is a problem.
