How It Compares With The Alternatives
An honest read on where this pattern wins and where another one would serve you better.
| Alternative | Honest Trade Off |
|---|---|
| 6×7 wire rope | The 6×19W+FC offers better flexibility and wear resistance than 6×7, but 6×7 has higher tensile strength and is more suitable for high-stress static applications |
| 6×24 wire rope | 6×24 has more wires per strand, giving greater flexibility and fatigue resistance, but 6×19W+FC has better wear resistance and is more cost-effective for general lifting |
| Wire rope with wire core | 6×19W+FC with fibre core has better elasticity and shock absorption, while wire core provides higher crush resistance and is better for high-pressure applications |
| Synthetic rope | Steel wire rope handles higher loads and withstands abrasion and heat better, but synthetic rope is lighter and easier to handle in low-load applications |
Use Guide
How To Use And Inspect Wire Rope 6X19W+FC
- Always use the stamped working load limit, not the winch or crane rating, to determine safe operation
- Inspect the rope for broken wires, kinks, or corrosion before each use
- Avoid sharp bends or contact with rough edges that can damage the outer wires
- Use proper sheaves with groove diameter at least 20 times the rope diameter
- Replace the rope if more than 10% of wires are broken in any lay length
- Do not reuse rope that has been subjected to overload or fire
- Store coils in a dry, covered area to prevent moisture and corrosion

Answers
Wire Rope 6X19W+FC FAQ
What does 6×19W+FC mean?
It means 6 strands, nominally 19 wires per strand, with a wire core (W) and fibre core (FC). The actual number of wires per strand can range from 15 to 26.
What is the working load limit based on?
The working load limit is based on a 5:1 design factor, so the minimum breaking load is five times the safe working load.
Can I get a Material Test Certificate?
Yes. A Material Test Certificate to EN 10204 3.1 is supplied on request with every order.
What lengths are available?
Standard lengths are 100m to 500m per coil. Custom lengths are available upon request.
Is galvanised steel available?
Yes. Galvanised steel and stainless steel versions are available for corrosion resistance in outdoor or marine environments.
How is the rope marked?
The rope is marked with the working load limit and tensile strength grade on the surface for traceability.
Can you customise the packaging?
Yes. We can configure carton count, pallet pattern, and packaging to suit your warehouse or retail requirements.
