Compacted • 8-Strand • Inner Plastified Wire ropes (EPIWRC)
This wire rope belongs in the non rotation resistant classification but its strands are compacted and it is used mainly as luffing wire rope on high efficiency ship & harbour mobile cranes, container bridge cranes, overhead travelling hoists, mineral loading cranes.
It is an 8-strand construction, very flexible and suitable for use on many crane brands installed on board.
These wire ropes are usually produced as drawn galvanized and internally and externally lubricated, which makes them corrosion resistant and durable against the various harsh marine environment factors.
Additionally, these ropes are produced with an extruded inner plastic layer, which ensures water impermeability and elimination of point contact between wires & strands of the inner and outer layers.
This extra protection from corrosion and inner contact, prolongs the useful service life of the ropes.
Attention must be paid in the installation of the new rope on board, its running-in (bedding in) period and load and the inspection before and after every usage.
Diligent production processes, raw material selection and quality control in all stages of production ensure a long and trouble free service life.
Compacting technology reduces the size and increases the breaking strength. Please read more on advantages of compacted wire ropes.

The 8C wire rope belongs in the non rotation resistant classification but its strands are compacted and is used mainly as luffing wire rope on the high efficiency ship & harbour mobile cranes.
It is an 8-strand construction, very flexible and is suitable for use on many crane brands installed on board.
The 8C wire ropes are usually produced as drawn galvanized and internally and externally lubricated, which makes them corrosion resistant and endurable against the various harsh marine environment factors.
Additionally, these ropes are produced with an extruded inner plastic layer, which ensures water impermeability and elimination of point contact between wires & strands of the inner and outer layers. This extra protection from corrosion and inner contact, prolongs the useful service life of the ropes.
Dilligent production processes, raw material selection and quality contol in all stages of production ensure a long and trouble free service life.
