Compacted Type 6X31 IWRC

Key Features & Advantages:

• Construction: 6 strands, each with 31 wires (often Warrington Seale), compressed to reduce diameter and increase density.
• High Strength: The compacted, or “swaged,” process increases metallic area, offering superior breaking loads compared to standard 6×19 or non-compacted 6×31 ropes.
• Abrasion Resistance: The smooth outer surface reduces friction and wear on drums and sheaves.
• Flexibility: While strong, it maintains good flexibility suitable for hoisting systems.
• Core: Usually supplied with an Independent Wire Rope Core (IWRC) for maximum strength and support.

Common Applications:

• Cranes & Lifting: Ideal for boom hoists, trolley lines, and mobile cranes.
• Industrial: Winch lines, logging mainlines, and clam shell buckets.
• Marine: Heavy-duty mooring or crane use, often in galvanized coating for corrosion resistance. 

Specifications:

• Finish: Bright or Galvanized.
• Lay: Right Regular Lay (RRL) or Left Regular Lay (LRL).
• Material: Steel.
