8×26WS Steel Wire Rope

Product Overview

Designed with a plastic insert between 8 outer strands and the rope core, it delivers exceptional reliability and operational safety for heavy-duty lifting applications. Covering a diameter range of 3-203 mm and boasting tensile strength from 1770 to 2160 MPa, this rope meets international standards including ISO 9001, CCS, and ABS certifications . Its compacted strand technology ensures consistent performance across multi-layer coiling scenarios, making it a preferred choice for construction and civil engineering projects.

● Standard: GB/T20118-2017

● For various equipment of lfting, hoisting and dragging, the rope with steel core may be used under the shock load.

Product Features

Structural Advantages

Eight-strand construction with plastic interlayer protects the core from abrasion and lateral pressure, enhancing dimensional stability during operation .

Compaction treatment of all strands reduces wear and tear, extending service life while maintaining flexibility for smooth spooling.

Performance Highlights

High breaking force ranging from 48.0 kN (10 mm diameter) to 3370 kN (60 mm diameter) at 2160 MPa tensile strength .

Equipped with high-temperature lubricant that preserves performance under extreme thermal conditions, paired with corrosion-protected core for longevity.

Superior crush resistance and enhanced bend fatigue resistance minimize stretch, reducing lifetime maintenance costs.
