Galvanised Wire Rope

Galvanised wire rope is the ideal choice for tough, long-lasting rope solutions in demanding environments. Designed for strength and durability, this wire rope is ideal for a range of applications, from lifting and rigging to marine and construction tasks. The clever design of this wire rope is made up of interlocked ‘Z’ shape wires that provide a highly secure and resilient structure.

The galvanised coating of this wire rope for lifting provides excellent corrosion resistance, making it highly suitable for outdoor and marine use.

Types of Galvanised Wire Rope

Standard galvanised wire rope:

The standard option for outdoor and marine use, offering excellent corrosion resistance and strength.

Non-rotating galvanised wire rope:

Ideal for applications requiring high stability and resistance to rotation, ensuring safe and secure lifting.

Common Applications for UK Galvanised Wire Rope

Lifting and rigging:

Used in cranes, hoists, and winches for secure and reliable lifting and rigging in construction and industrial settings.

Marine use:

Galvanised wire rope is perfect for shipyards, docks, and boating equipment where exposure to water and harsh weather requires corrosion-resistant materials.

Construction:

Provides support for loads, suspension cables, and rigging tasks, to ensure durability in demanding environments like construction sites.

How to Choose the Right Wire Rope

When choosing the right galvanised wire for lifting, it’s vital to consider the following factors:

• Load capacity: Ensure the rope can handle the weight and pressure of the load you’re lifting.
• Rope size: Choose the appropriate diameter to match the application and other lifting equipment requirements.
• Environmental exposure: Consider exposure to elements like saltwater, moisture, or chemicals that could impact the rope's performance.
• Specific application: Select the rope type that suits your needs, such as non-rotating wire rope for stability in critical lifting tasks.
