Constructex ® is made of three different
strand constructions: 7-wire, 24-wire and
40-wire strands. The nine strands are
closed in operation and lightly swaged to
postform the rope and give the strands a
triangular shape. Compacting increases
strength and resistance to crushing. The smooth outside
surface enhances abrasion and scrubbing resistance.
Constructex ® can provide 1-1/2 to 2 times the service life
of other wire ropes in severely abusive applications.
Typical Applications include: tubing lines, logging lines,
winch lines, boom hoists, scrap yard, mobile and

CABLE
Galvanized cable has the highest
strength and greatest fatigue life of
the materials offered. It has good to
fair corrosion resistance in rural to
industrial atmosphere enviornments.
This material is most widely used for
small diameter cable. Tin over
galvanized cable offers greater
corrosion resistance and reduced
friction over pulleys.
*Acceptance strength is not
less than 2-1/2% below the
nominal breaking strengths
listed.
†Other sizes available upon
request.
Dyform ®-6 The Dyforming process produces high
density wire rope made with compacted strands.
Dyform®-6 is a six strand construction with an
Independent Wire Rope Core (IWRC). It meets or
exceeds strength requirements of EEIPS rope. The
compact strand construction provides better
flexibility, bending life and crush resistance than standard 6-strand
ropes. Compacting also produces a smooth surface for reduced
bearing pressure; and
increases the steel area by
100% for higher abrasion
resistance and less sheave
wear. Typical Applications
include: boom hoist, load
hoist and winch lines,
holding, closing, crowd and
retract lines, blast furnace
skip hoist and bell operating
ropes, ore bridges and ore
unloaders, stripper, soaking
pit, hot metal, scrap yard,
mobile and overhead
traveling cranes, hot bed
conveyors, car haulage, and
marine cargo falls.
