Wire Rope
Steel Wire Rope
The load-bearing element in lifting, hauling, and securing heavy cargo across industrial and offshore environments. Kailipu supplies 12 steel wire rope lines in multiple constructions and finishes from 6X7+FC to 6X37+FC, so a buyer can source a complete rope specification on one order instead of coordinating with three separate rope manufacturers.

Who It Is For
Buyers Who Specify Steel Wire Rope
- Lifting and rigging contractors needing a full range of wire rope types for crane and hoist applications
- Marine and offshore operators specifying corrosion-resistant galvanised ropes for mooring and deck handling
- Mining and drilling companies requiring abrasion-resistant ropes with IWRC for deep shaft and heavy haul operations
- Construction firms sourcing durable ropes for bridge and stadium cable systems
- Logistics and transport companies securing heavy cargo with lifting and lashing ropes
- Industrial fabricators building custom lifting sets that require multiple rope types in one assembly
Problems Solved
What Steel Wire Rope Solve on the Job
- A lifting project delayed because the required rope construction is not available from the current supplier
- Rope failing prematurely due to incorrect core type for the load condition, such as using FC in a high-compression application
- Lack of galvanised finish on a rope needed for marine or outdoor use, leading to corrosion and early failure
- No consistent marking of working load limit or construction details on the rope, making it hard to verify compliance
- Multiple suppliers needed for different rope types in a single project, increasing procurement complexity and lead time
- Small orders not accepted by rope mills, forcing buyers to over-order or split purchases across vendors

Applications
Where Steel Wire Rope Are Used
- Lifting heavy steel beams on a construction site using a 6X19+FC rope with IWRC for high strength and resistance to crushing
- Mooring a barge in a coastal port with a galvanised 6X37+FC rope to resist saltwater corrosion
- Running a wire rope through a pulley block in a mining shaft where abrasion and fatigue are high
- Securing a container load on a flatbed trailer using a 6X7+FC rope with galvanised finish for outdoor exposure
- Installing a cable system in a stadium roof where a rotation-resistant rope is needed to prevent twisting
- Connecting a crane hook to a load with a 6X19+FC/IWRC rope where high breaking strength and durability are critical

Answers
Steel Wire Rope FAQ
What does 6X19+FC mean on a steel wire rope?
It means the rope has six strands, each made of 19 wires, with a fiber core. This construction offers good flexibility and is used in general lifting and hoisting applications.
What is the difference between FC and IWRC core?
Fiber core (FC) provides more flexibility but less strength under compression. Independent Wire Rope Core (IWRC) increases breaking strength and resists crushing, making it better for high-load and high-compression applications.
When should I use a galvanised wire rope?
Use galvanised ropes for outdoor, marine, or corrosive environments where saltwater or moisture is present. The zinc coating provides corrosion resistance, though it may reduce flexibility slightly.
What is the working load limit for a steel wire rope?
The working load limit is the maximum safe load the rope is designed to carry. It is calculated by dividing the minimum breaking load by the design factor, typically 5:1 for lifting applications unless otherwise specified.
Do you supply Material Test Certificates?
Yes. A Material Test Certificate to EN 10204 3.1 is issued with the batch on request. It includes material composition and test results for proof load and breaking strength.
Can you custom stamp tonnage or add private label?
Yes. Custom tonnage stamping, private label marking, and branded packaging are available. Send the marking layout and pack configuration you need.
What is the smallest order you accept?
We accept small top-up orders alongside mixed rigging purchases. There is no minimum order size for steel wire rope when part of a larger order. Send the line list and we will quote it as is.
