Few people really seriously think about the question that in order to lift different types of cargo to a certain height, it is necessary to have not only special transport equipment, but also various fasteners. These include ropes made of steel and other materials. In direct dependence on the type of weights being lifted, as well as directly on their weight, you can give preference to various products. But, perhaps, the most reliable and durable of all is considered to be a steel cable, which is the standard version of cables.
Features of the manufacture of steel cables
In order for the lifting of oversized loads to be truly safe, unusual technologies are used for the manufacture of ropes. So, the core is taken as a basis, it can be vegetable or artificial, as well as steel, it is impregnated with lubricants, and a strong steel wire is wrapped around it. There are many ways of weaving, the maximum possible stretching of the cable, as well as plasticity and, of course, flexibility, largely depend on them. The number of steel strands used in weaving can be different, the standard version is six wires, but there can be much more of them.
Types of ropes
All steel cables can be roughly divided into two basic groups:
1. Rope limited in mobility;
2. A rope that can spin.
Depending on the specific situation, it is important to choose the right one of the above types, it is necessary to comply with elementary safety standards.
