Its 8×17 construction—8 outer strands (each with 17 wires) and a fibre core (FC)—delivers consistent performance across medium-load applications. Available in diameters from 8 mm to 60 mm, it offers tensile strength of 1670 MPa to 1960 MPa, complying with ISO 9001 and DIN 3060 standards. The 17-wire strands (typically in Lang lay) balance strength and flexibility, while the FC core (polypropylene or jute) absorbs shocks and reduces weight. This rope is ideal for medium-duty lifting equipment, where a mix of load capacity, maneuverability, and affordability is required—such as utility cranes and material handling systems.

• Balanced Flexibility & Strength: 17-wire strands (Lang lay) enable use with pulleys ≥22× rope diameter, while 8 strands ensure uniform load distribution—suitable for both static and light dynamic lifting.
• Shock & Weight Benefits: FC core absorbs 35% more shock than IWRC, protecting equipment from sudden loads; it also reduces rope weight by 15%, easing manual handling (e.g., by utility workers).
• Corrosion Resistance: Hot-dip galvanized strands resist rust in outdoor use (e.g., utility pole lifting), with service life of 4-6 years in moderate weather.
• Low Maintenance: Smooth strand surface (from Lang lay) reduces pulley wear, lowering equipment maintenance costs by 20% compared to rough-lay ropes.
8×17-FC (8-20 mm diameter) lifts utility poles, streetlights, and traffic signals—its flexibility allows use with small utility cranes, and FC core resists moisture in outdoor municipal projects.
10-60 mm variants power warehouse stacker cranes (for pallets), small construction cranes (residential roofing), and manufacturing facility hoists (for machine parts). The balanced strength-flexibility mix ensures smooth operation in daily high-cycle use.
Its flexibility (works with small utility crane pulleys) and lightweight FC core (easy to handle by 2-3 workers) make it ideal for lifting utility poles (≤5 tons) in urban or rural areas.
At rated load (1770 MPa tensile strength), the 30 mm 8×17-FC rope has an elongation rate of ≤1.8%, ensuring precise positioning of utility poles or warehouse pallets.
Yes—with food-grade lubricant and stainless steel strands (optional), it complies with FDA standards for lifting food-processing equipment (e.g., mixers, conveyors) in hygiene-sensitive environments.
