Crane wire rope FAQ
Answers to questions buyers ask us most often.
How do I choose the right rope diameter for my crane?
Use the diameter given in your crane manufacturer’s manual or marked on the old rope. Measure the old rope across its widest points (from the top of one strand to the top of the opposite strand), not across the flats. Do not switch to a smaller diameter unless the crane manufacturer approves it.
What do IWRC and FMC mean?
IWRC is an independent wire rope core, a steel rope at the centre. It gives more strength and resists crushing on the drum. FMC is a fibre main core. It makes the rope more flexible but gives less support, so it suits lighter duty.
What is rotation-resistant rope, and when do I need it?
Ropes like 18×7 and 34×7 are built to resist twisting when loaded. They are used on tower cranes and on long lifts where the load hangs from a single fall of rope.
Should I choose bright or galvanized rope?
Bright rope is common for general crane work. Galvanized rope has a zinc coating that resists rust, so it suits outdoor, humid and coastal sites.
When should a crane wire rope be replaced?
Replace it when it meets the discard criteria in your crane manufacturer’s manual and the applicable standard. Signs include broken wires, rust, kinks, flattened sections, birdcaging and a drop in rope diameter. Inspect the rope regularly and replace it early if you are unsure.
Is your wire rope made to an Indian standard?
Yes. Our wire rope is made to Indian Standard IS 2266:2019. The only exception is 35W×K7, which is not part of that standard.
What do you need to give me a quote?
The rope construction, diameter, length and quantity. It also helps to know the crane type, the finish (bright or galvanized) and the lay. If you are not sure, send the crane make and model and we will help you choose.
