SECTION 1 - Wire Rope 20BethlehemBXL Triple-PAC TRIPLE-PAC was developed for the most demandinghoist applications. TRIPLE- PAC offers the extra highstrength and crushing resistance needed for applicationssuch as boom hoist ropes, boom pendants and multipartload lines.TRIPLE-PAC provides:Superior abrasion and fatigue resistance as comparedwith most compacted ropes due to WWW’s uniquedesign of compacting the IWRC, individual strands andthe rope itself. Other benefits include:High strength. TRIPLE-PAC is designed to provide a nominalstrength of 35% above EIP. WWW achieves thisstrength through selected grades of steel and TRIPLE-PAC’s unique design and manufacturing processes.Superior Resistance to Multilayer Drum Crushing.TRIPLE-PAC provides superior resistance to crushingthrough its design. Its triple compaction provides adenser cross section, enabling the rope to withstand therigors of multilayer spooling. Damage at the cross overpoints is also significantly reduced. In addition, TRI-PLE-PAC’s design increases the amount of wire contactwith sheaves and drums, reducing wire rope, drum andsheave wear.Triple-PACStrands: 6Wires per strand:31 to 36Core: IWRCStandard grade(s):EEIPSLay: Right RegularFinish: BrightRope Diameter Approx.

BXL is recommended for numerous hoist,marine, and logging rope applications.BXL provides:• Fatigue Resistance - Improved fatigue resistance is derivedfrom the cushioning and dampening effect of the polymer onthe wires and strands. BXL also evenly distributes stresseswhich may lead to fatigue breaks.• Abrasion Resistance - The polymer acts as a barrier betweenthe individual strands, preventing penetration of any adversematerial. BXL distributes and reduces contact stressesbetween the rope and sheave, reducing wire rope wear.• Resistance To Multilayer Drum Crushing - BXL’ssmooth profile evenly distributes crushing pressures from theoverlying layers of rope in multilayer drum winding applications.• Extended Sheave and Drum Service Life - BXL minimizescorrugation and wear normally associated with standardrope usage by restricting water and dirt penetration and eliminatingpickup of abrasive materials.• Clean Handling - The exterior rope surface is free from theBXLRope Diameter Approx.
