6×36 is a flexible general engineering wire rope readily available in galvanised, ungalvanised and marine grade stainless steel. The wire rope has an equal lay construction (warrington seale) and achieves a superior breaking load to the 6×19 construction range. The construction has been designed to give a flexible rope with a good fatigue life. A 6×36 wire rope is available with either FC (fibre core) or IWRC (independent wire rope core) and is used for a wide range of applications, examples of which are shown below:
Applications
- Holding and closing ropes for grab cranes
- General engineering applications
- Wire rope slings
- Crane ropes
- Winch ropes
- Hoist rope
- Wire rope rigging applications
- Lifeboat falls
- Mooring ropes
- Pursing wires
- Luffing ropes
- Tow ropes
