Main Applications:
Super-8 is the classic 'upgrade' rope for all overhead crane types to
increase the rope's fatigue life. The 8-strand construction provides
an excellent combination of flexibility, fatigue life, and abrasion
resistance.
Also used in looping- or accumulator tower applications.
Available in right regular lay (RRL) AND left regular
lay (LRL)
Rope Characteristic:
8-strand high performance overhead crane wire rope with a plastic
coated core. This special engineered hard plastic prevents metal to
metal contact between outer- and inner strands and greatly
reduces internal, non-detectable, wear and abrasion resulting in
increased fatigue life, plus it provides for permanent core
lubrication.
Type 'V' is compacted for increased surface contact area between
rope and sheave thus reducing sheave and drum wear.
Super 8 is up to 30% stronger than regular 6-strand EIPS ropes.
